Faves for this Web page

  • An interesting perspective on recent history: industrialization created free time (unused mental capacity or "cognitive surplus"), TV filled it at first but now we are finding more constructive ways to apply it.

    Quoted: I started telling [a TV producer] about the Wikipedia article on Pluto...She heard this story and she shook her head and said, "Where do people find the time?" That was her question. And I just kind of snapped. And I said, "No one who works in TV gets to ask that question. You know where the time comes from. It comes from the cognitive surplus you've been masking for 50 years."
