McMaster has a great lecture series supported by the Hamilton Spector called “Science in the City”. Yesterday I gave one of the talks on “Too Much To Read: Using Computers to Cope With Information Overload” (see the Spectator article beforehand, Spectator interviews Prof. Geoffrey Rockwell.) It was encouraging how many people are interested in a topic like this. There really is broad interest in questions around information, reading, and the Internet. The questions at the end ranged from “should I switch to Firefox?” to “how can I use a concordancer on the information I have?”
