In a phrase, the internet
revolution may be summed up as a global movement, inspired by IT overlords to
move our intelligence to machines while decreasing our intelligence by
encouraging us to do mindless things. In other words, the internet is dumbing
us UP and dumbing us DOWN.
His and Hers Google Glasses
A case in point are a new
software tool that will allow us to be omniscient in a robotic Terminator sort
of way, and a new software app that will help terminate our intelligence. The latest such boon to man or
should I say peoplekind is called Google Glass, and brings
Google two inches from your nose. The second, called Instagram, helps you make your pictures look old
or otherwise crappy. Jon Stewart on the
Daily Show recently took note of this. His take
on it is worth a billion virtual dollars!
