Possible Source of Road Rage?

Just finished an article about being able to connect a laptop from the car through wireless networking. The business section of the International Herald Tribune tells us that automobile wireless internet will be made possible by the Avis car rental agency. Can you imagine the commuter going to work with his heated coffee mug, cellphone chattering, electric shaver or lighted compact and lipstick, GPS giving directions, radio doing a traffic report and typing on a laptop? Possible nightmare? Well, duh!

This advance in technology brings to mind the fact that change is part of growth just as, "necessity is the mother of invention." Researching a quote on this subject if proof positive. All these years my goofy mind had the necessity quote coming from "Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" by William Wordsworth. It turns out that Willie didn't pen these famous words. Looks like Victor Hugo gets a lot of the credit for making an old catch-phrase famous.

The real question here is why am I reading poetry from the Romanticists era this early in the morning? Excuse me while I try to return to a normal subnormal state and read my daily dose of Dilbert.
