Re: Saving the World Without Hippies
By Jenn Shreve
From: Richard J. Canfield
I haven't read Worldchanging yet, but I'm very interested in purchasing it. I support the belief that the internet holds a lot of answers to our problems. It's the most dynamic form of communication between people en masse. It's idealistic to think of technology as leaning away from the industry that produced it and promoting the organic manifestation that's essential for human survival. It would be great to wake up one morning and, just as habitually as we put on our clothes, put on organic nanotech computers with embedded wireless internet.

Re: Every Old Meme Is New Again
By Robert Lemos
From: Nate Meltzer
You reference the short attention span of the internet. Could it be that on the first round the entire internet community wasn't aware of the article, as opposed to the notion that internet users are suffering from memory loss? I find the topic of meme spreading very interesting, have been using the net as a huge source of news and cultural commentary for a while, but was unaware of the nearly identical research project carried out in '04.

I've been reading your stuff via Wired for a few months now, and just wanna say thanks for doing such a good job. It's nice to see someone with an open mind review current things with candor.

Re: Physics Frontier Goes Euro
By John Borland
From: Igor Fodor
I don't understand your worry. The Europeans understood very early that only together can they afford such expensive experimentation. In the United States it took somewhat longer. But after Congress failed to approve funds for the Superconducting Super Collider to be built in Texas, many U.S. physicists and engineers came to work at CERN.
By the way, the previous machine at CERN was LEP, the Large Electron-Positron collider. Besides Fermilab's Tevatron, the United States still has Stanford's SLAC (linear accelerator) and Brookhaven's RHIC (relativistic heavy ion collider).
It is nothing new that the number of science and engineering students has been steadily dropping ever since 1982. See the book Global Stakes from James Botkin, Dan Dimancescu, Ray Stata and John McClellan.
