quote 22:24:22
“ Rep. Brian P. Bilbray (R-Calif.) has said the drones are so popular that a Predator could be elected president. Texas Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar pronounced domestic drones “invaluable.” Arizona’s Republican Gov. Jan Brewer called them “ideal for border security and counter-drug missions.” GOP presidential contender Texas Gov. Rick Perry argues that the solution to security along the frontier is not a border fence but more Predators. ”

“ The rush to online mapping is causing some problems. Studies by the British Cartographic Society show that high-tech maps get the user from Point A to Point B but leave off traditional features such as historical landmarks, government buildings and cultural institutions; this could lead to a loss of cultural and geographic literacy. ”
John McKinney, in Paper Maps Not Ready to Fold Yet in Miller-McCune Online Magazine (via straup)
This seems to be another example of digital manifestations losing serendipity…
