111134 - Doug's vision is not about technology, but about people, and the way

111164 - After about 15 - 20 minutes, decided that sitting and listening to
111165 - Doug talk on the computer was not an effective way to accomplish the
111166 - goals of his presentation for augmenting intelligence.  Trying to
111167 - write down what he was saying for analysis was not a productive
111168 - investment of time, for reasons cited by Adam at Standford in the
