Bicycle For Our Minds
The past two days I have had the freedom to explore interesting avenues on the web. Places that didn't get much attention from me when I spent so much time at the office. For example I have been reading about single handed trans-oceanic sailing. Very interesting stuff.
The varied interests that are instantly available on the web brought to mind the video clip below. In the video Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple computer, compares computers to bicycles in an interesting way. He also alludes to a prediction that computers are going to set the human mind free to explore information at an incredible speed. Steve's prediction has come true, albeit in a slightly different form than he anticipated. Without the Internet the computer is still slow to deliver information. The Internet is to the computer as wheels are to a bicycle.
Have you been anywhere cool on the Internet lately? If so, why don't you leave a comment with a web address?
