I mention this because I wanted to make it clear what my relationship has been to the company and the technology. In November I am returning to my previous position as technical editor for Internet World. With that disclaimer out of the way, let me tell you a little about stupidity and why it is the key to understanding the Web. The next time you encounter a tree you look at it, realize it's a tree and move on. All of the associated work required to translate the word tree to an individual's set of memories, images and experiences of trees is encapsulated in the symbol.
Language is an incredibly complex instrument, but our experience with it is very simple.
