After reading the TIME 100, I came to several conclusions. First, the world is apparently being shaped by virtual unknowns. Second, in many cases, the real influential people seem to be the ones writing the essays. And third, aren't the media that report on the events that most affect Americans among the most influential? Curiously, their names were missing. The Rev. Al Detter, ERIE...

An ongoing audit of our usage and needs has so far yielded substantial annual savings through “downshifting” of digital lines to analog lines, conversion of physical fax machines to virtual fax services that deliver faxes directly to an employee’s email account, and shifting of some employees to use only cell phones.

It was this mischievous-looking 70-year-old law professor who served a decade ago as the motive force behind the founding of Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society—an organization that grapples with the developing legal issues surrounding...
