(2006-10-17) Dyson On Google

Esther Dyson has some notes about Google: Personalization, Internet Of Things, etc.

An she makes an interesting point about China. It's not simply that it can still deliver some information. The habit of finding things out is almost as important as what people find out...at least for now. People need to expect to find the answers to their questions. They should get into the habit of wanting to know things. Later on, they'll begin to wonder why there are certain things they cannot know. (I'm not sure I buy it, but it's interesting...)
