Douglas Adams - Hyperland September 21, 2006
Posted by Andy Roberts in : video , trackbackI’ve been exploring YouTube a bit recently, mainly because my initial experience was a positive one, uncovering more and more rare bonzo dog band footage.

The future looked good in those days, perhaps. (date?)
But as commented, the dream has not become reality yet. Who was supposed to make all the media clips, link it all together and provide it for free. Instead all we have is Wikipedia and blogs. And YouTube, of course.
