The Guy who Invented the Internet does not understand it

Al Gore is going to speak to the RSA convention in April and seems to not understand how the new medium he claims to have invented actually works. Gore, as a condition of his keynote, has demanded that “"Video recordings, broadcasts and photography are also prohibited."

Like most of what Mr. Gore does this exposes his real understanding of the new digital world. The new world opens possibilities up it does not close them down. Perhaps he still thinks he is in the political realm. But obviously, he is not, and probably he does not understand that that realm is also open to a lot more interventions also.
