One of the things that I know about myself is that I am insanely curious.
Is it any surprise that I liked Weinberger’s statement:

Perhaps the Web isn’t shortening our attention span. Perhaps the world is just getting more interesting” (69).

I’m definitely on board with this. If only I had more time, as there are 20+ things I’d like to do/study with my time.

About SMLJ, AKMA says,

But this is not a book that should satisfy readers; on its own terms, the book ought to push its readers to think beyond what Weinberger himself suggests (the book, like the Web, is far from being “perfect,” and is paradoxically stronger for that imperfection).

What might the future hold?
I am troubled by the ways we share space offline and do so many things to separate ourselves from the people around us. Could the connections that we form online lead to us try and form more connections offline? Will the phrase, don’t talk to strangers, have different connotations one day?
