This change is being driven by powerful new cognitive tools, enabled by the internet, which are greatly accelerating scientific discovery.

But this is the first book about something much more fundamental: how the internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence and how we understand the world." Via Howard Rheingold

But for every added feature, engineers must install a safety device to prevent you from smashing into things while you enjoy a phone call or YouTube video.
