Indeed, my essay was, well, I wouldn't say vapid, but the tone was intended to echo the flavor of the snack-themed meme and I think I succeeded in doing that (and backing it up with the subsequent eight pages). Johnson makes some fine points in his essay (he's Steven Johnson, hard to top) but in retrospect, we were wrong to title his essay "Snacklash." I realize now that he and I are actually saying very similar things. Our cultural appetite is expanding, our metabolism for information increasing and there's room for just about everything. How you choose to devour it is up to you. Keep up the great blog! I appreciate you mentioning Wired’s cover story.
