The article was in The New York Times of February 21, and dealt with the Chinese Huawei company. This company, it seems, would like to build a 5G network in the United States.
For those who do not know, 5G is the planned next-generation network of the cell phone system. This will allow all kinds of devices to be connected to the network. But whether such a network is truly needed is open to some debate.
In coming days, I plan to write more about the 5G network as it portends a further escalation of our Internet-dominated business life. What is being lost in the debate is the voice of the average American. Like so many new technological developments of the past, the average citizen -- not having the scientific background to make his own judgments -- is at a distinct disadvantage to control his own future.
Please stay tuned for more.
