> Few salesmen would properly be mistaken for intellectuals.
I noticed this morning (passing by a newsstand in the Port Authority Bus Terminal) that our friend Jamais Cascio has an article in the latest _Atlantic Monthly_. Something about "Is Google Actually Making Us Smarter?"
Maybe I'll try to read a bit of it on the way home tonight. ;->
(Re Google. I don't know if it's making me "smarter" -- depends on what you mean by "smarter" I guess; it can certainly make me **seem** smarter, at least to the uninitiated. ;-> But I wouldn't want to be without it. Or Wikipedia, of course. )
