The ignorance of how to use the Internet stockpiles exponentially

The internet has caused an explosion of information. The effects of this explosion are little understood. The Center For Internet Research has been formed to study how the internet has changed the way we live, work, play and do business.

Denver, Colorado - 1/5/2006 - Dr. W. Reid Cornwell, former CEO and founder of Intratech the secretive high tech executive search firm, announced the creation of THE CENTER FOR INTERNET RESEARCH. http://tcfir.org

Quoting late Marshall Mcluhan, media critic and author of "The Media Is the Message", Dr. Cornwell says, "the ignorance of how to use new ideas stockpiles exponentially."

The Center For Internet Research is a collaboration of business industry and government. Scholars from University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the University of Wyoming will attempt to map what effects this has had on the way we live, work, play and do business. Their research will be published online and made available to everyone.

Dr. Cornwell reports, "TCFIR will join an elite and elite cadre of similar institutes in this area of research and is the only one that is a collaboration of more than one University. This follows the announcement of a similar program at Oxford University.

Early supporters for the center include Dr. Vinton Cerf, Ester Dyson, Andrew Hyder, Larry Elison and many more.
