Interesting - Charles Stross covered the "machines as an extension of your mind" idea in Accelerando.
- danilocampos 16y agoThought of the same thing. I read Accelerando after the iPhone had been part of my daily life for about three years. It's absolutely an early flavor of the book's idea of a "metacortex." You never need to say "I wonder..." when something is in doubt. You just look it up. If you're bored, you can keep your brain awash in new data. If you need to communicate with others through virtually any digital medium, it's a tap or two away.
