A bit strawperson-ey

No one hates him, he wrote a very funny book on catching a computer hacker.

But he's just totally hopeless at predicting the future. Nothing to do with that article but he's one of the first non fiction authors I read (Silicon Snake Oil) and realised he just doesn't get it. He's a bit of a Luddite(In a non offensive way)

I still think much of what he said in Silicon Snake Oil is right on the mark, particularly the part about computers in the classroom.
