Roger Ebert's talk at TED

Great Stuff.  Ebert says, through his wife Chaz, "If I were in this condition at any point before a few cosmological instances ago I would be isolated as a hermit.  I would be trapped within my head.  Because of the rush of human knowledge, because of the digital revolution, I have a voice, and I do not need to scream."  Makes you question the whole Idea that the internet is a place for people to avoid real human interaction.  For some, the internet can be an outlet for expression that they cannot have anywhere else.
