Belated Response to Carr/Cascio/Postman

Keeping it very short, as I noticed I neglected to respond to this post as I was checking over everything as a video uploads to my blog. . .I'll touch on two topics: the pharmacology piece of Cascio's article, and the assumption that the benefits of Google/technology in general are and/or will be evenly distributed. And what about the energy & natural resources required to build and run these increasingly advanced networks? Cascio admits to using modafinil in order to combat jet lag, slightly avoiding the fact that doctors are prescribing this drug outside of its FDA sanctioned uses. There's a term for this, but I'd have to Google it. Hmmmm. . . . On the other topic, what's going to happen to the have-nots whose brains are not stimulated to evolve? Will they be the Geico cavemen of the 22nd century media?
