APPLE V GOOGLE | More Intelligent Life →
Last year he (Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert) depicted technology-tethered humans as de facto cyborgs: “If a cyborg can remove its digital eye and leave it on a shelf as a surveillance device, and I think we all agree that it can, then your cellphone qualifies as part of your body.” He sees the phone as an exobrain: “Your regular brain uses your exobrain to outsource part of its memory,...

Apple's Post-PC Devices
marc: I’m salivating over the new iPad 2 as much as anyone and will be in line on March 11th as I am for almost every Apple product launch. That said, if Apple is going to brag about its “post-PC devices” it would nice if those devices didn’t, you know, require having a PC.
