Ben I reckon this has got something to do with the way we process and retain

information - written info is much more likely to make it around the

articulatory loop and into the long term memory space if it is reinforced

aurally. We retain up to 50% more of what we see if we hear it too. And if

what we're looking at is visually stimulating - ie it moves or pictorially

reinforces what we're reading - we remember even more


So although I loved the Lean Back/Lean To stuff and think you very

perceptive, I'm of the opinion that info on the web will in future be

presented in a sound and vision combined way v much like TV - only with the

added power generated by the intensity of the lean to style of PC

presentation


So....in future....

For basic web functions that have little need to *think* too much - 'TV'

style access for shopping etc

Researching/thinking/communicating difficult info - PC style access


But both benefiting from higher production values with more elements

combined than our current stuff, restricted as it is to being pretty clumsy

due to our sh*t*y bandwidth


Just my penn'orth
