Need To Know is out this week, starting with a Doug Englebart quote that got me thinking:
"The real question I've been working these past 50 years on is how to augment the human intellect through collective thinking"
It seems indicative of something that the mouse, as used in point-n-drool interfaces, hasn't really augmented the high end of "the human intellect", it's brought the low end into a world and set of discussions they really don't understand. Couldn't we have just left them with TV? Sorry for the cynicism, the background of politicians talking has that effect.
