Andrew Kantor was the editor of Tech Decisions in September of 2001. The day after the attacks of 9/11, he wrote a column that reflected the anger many felt after watching the World Trade Center towers collapse.
“By the time you read this, I hope, we will have responded to the attacks against us with an unprecedented show of force—one that will shock the world to the same degree that yesterday's destruction did,” wrote Kantor. “I want the world to say, 'I didn't think America was capable of that.' I want historians to debate in 50 years whether we did too much.”
What was different then from now is Kantor's words—though written 24 hours after the attack—were published in the October edition of Tech Decisions, some three weeks after the attacks took place. There was no blog on our Website as there is today. The world had yet to discover Twitter.
