Not true at all. I have access to the 'net via my cell phone's CDMA connection. It's not fast, but it does't have to be to look up text information.

I think that this PDA thing is only the beginings of the ubiquitous computing problem. Who knows what the future holds. Perhaps we'll all one day be 'borgs. I'm glad to see that soccerchamp76's school is embracing this technology and finding ways for students to use it in a controlled manner.

If information retrieval becomes fast, and better semantics and ontologies are found, I think an augmented memory could be just as viable as an organic brain memory. In a sense, whatever Google knows, so do you.
