Two Pieces of Interest

Sorry.   I'm an addict I guess because I'm back.  Reading the Sunday papers often sends me back to the computer to check something out or to share with my peeps.

One of my favorite sections of the Sunday New York Times is "The Week in Review" -- as you might expect, it's an analysis of the news that has unfolded over the past week. It's like the Sunday morning news shows, but without the bluster, puffery and blow-hardiness, carried with commercial messages about pain relief, medications for depression, and the mid-range hotel chains that dot the nation.  Free continental breakfast! Anyway.

The cover story today opens with a reference to a Wired magazine story last week that proclaimed that The Web is Dead, and then, within the next 100 words, mentions both McLuhan and Postman.  You KNOW my intellectual tail started wagging.  A cup of coffee, and open window, beautiful music, AND a smart story about the evolution of technology?  Please.  Here's the link to the story, if you're interested.  I found it a good read.
