Theos-Talk Archives (May 2000 Message tt00333)

Since the time HPB launched TS, she extensively used the then available
medium of communication - magazines and publications. All one needs is to
peruse CW.

I am sure she would be thrilled about using (a) computer and (b)
interacting with this and all other mailists and newsgroups which may have
some interest in matters in which theosophy is interested. Also considering
the fact that HPB did not have much money -- she was poor all the time --
she would have find the Internet communication to be very cheap. Also a
computer would have come handy in helping her write the material she
formerly laboriously did by hand.

One should never forget that for us ordinary mortals living in the
technological world, computer is just another instrument and Internet is
another means of communication. Of course many of the old-timers (with some
exceptions such as Dallas and some others) who still revel in old
technology of pencil and paper and quil may feel ancient wisdom is best
handled thru snailmail. What else do you expect from those who have no idea
either of the power of computer or that of Internet? I pity them. There is
no other choice.
