One of my friends is currently doing a photo blog and has an iPhone. When we are out in public and we're doing something she deems worthy of adding to her photo journal we take a picture with her iPhone, she uploads it to Live Journal immediately, and we go about our business. One comment another classmate made that I found interesting was that he enjoyed having internet access from his iPhone because when in conversation with friends if there was an argument over a topic he could look it up on the web and check wikipedia right there instead of having to try to remember when he got home. The iPhone is a step closer to this fully portable all-in-one device, and it can add a so called "extended memory," but is this service helping people by allowing us access to more information, or is it allowing us to remember less because we dont have to? Vannavar Bush dreamed of such a tool that would enhance our abilities to recall information, and the web is one interpretation of this device, but i wonder if it really is doing any good overall.
