13. A fierce controversy has emerged among economists and technology writers over the validity of the "New Economy." Wired editor Kevin Kelly and Business Week editor Stephen Shepard have been among the more vocal proponents of the idea. See Kevin Kelly, New Rules for the New Economy (New York: Viking, 1998);
