How does Usenet fit into the vision presented by Licklider and Taylor in
"The Computer as a Communication Device"?
 
Reflect on:
- Which aspects of their vision are realized through Usenet?
- What aspects have evolved differently from what they imagined?
 
Feel free to respond to comments made by your classmates as well.

Licklider and Taylor envisioned a future where computers would enable people
to collaborate more effectively, sharing ideas and solving problems in a
highly interactive way. Usenet reflects part of this vision by allowing users
from all over to engage in discussions, exchange knowledge, and build communities around common interests.

However, Usenet differs from their vision in important ways.
While it facilitates communication, it remains mostly text-based and lacks the interactive,
dynamic tools they anticipated. Instead of real-time collaborative problem-solving,
Usenet focuses more on open conversations and information sharing.
