There is a danger that English will take over the world because of the spread of the Internet. However, if people are keen to maintain other languages, then the Internet will help with this. = What is your best experience with the Internet? [Private matters.] = And your worst experience? I don't have any really bad experiences with the Internet. Just the usual - spam, hackers, but nothing really bad. *Interview of May 31st, 2001 = What has happened since our last interview? There has been a great expansion in the use of information technology at the Gaelic-medium college here. Far more computers, more computing staff, flat screens. Students do everything by computer, use Gaelic spell-checking, Gaelic online terminology database. More hits on our web site. More use of sound. Gaelic radio (both Scottish and Irish) now available continuously worldwide via the Internet. Major project has been translation the Opera web-browser into Gaelic - the first software of any size available in Gaelic. = Do you have anything to add to your previous answers? I would emphasise the point that as regards the future of endangered languages, the Internet speeds everything up. If people don't care about preserving languages, the Internet and accompanying globalisation will greatly speed their demise. If people do care about preserving them, the Internet will be a tremendous help. = How much do you still work with paper? I work with paper a lot, but far less than with computer delivered information. I write about 2.000 e-mails per year, compared to about 100 letters and about 500 phone calls and about 15 faxes. = Will there still be a place for paper in the future? Yes, there will still be a place for paper for a long long time to come, but its share will continue to decline compared to computer-delivered information. = What do you think about e-books? I don't know much about what e-books are. WWW is the really important thing.

Je vois quatre points importants: - L'internet a contribué et contribuera au développement fulgurant de l'anglais comme langue mondiale.
