Confessions of an Oblivious Browser

deer.gifI often think that people using the Internet should be called browsers. I have a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science, so I am well acquainted with the original meaning of browser. It is an animal that spends much of its waking hours traveling along biting off small selected portions of a number of different plants.

12 years ago, when I looked out my window and saw a white-tailed deer having a bite of the MacIntosh apple tree that the previous homeowner had spent much money on…the voice in my head said “CAN I HELP YOU ?” The imaginary deer voice in my head said “NO THANKS, I’M JUST BROWSING.”

Anyway, I was going to talk about how we often skip over and miss some very good bits of the Internet as we are browsing. The thing I noticed today for the first time was Google Books. I don’t know how I managed to be oblivious to it up until today.
