Business Week online | NEWS ANALYSIS By Sarah Lacy: Help for Info Age Have-Nots

Excerpts from the online article: “A few days back, tech guru John Seely Brown found himself facing the unthinkable: He was caught for 40 hours without his Treo. The former director of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center travels most of the year to board meetings, research projects, and speaking gigs around the world, and he makes it a point never to be separated from the one device that delivers e-mail and houses his address book, calendar, and mobile phone. “I felt naked,” he says. “I hadn’t recognized how much this device was integrated into every single thing I do or think about. It was a wake-up call that my life has fundamentally morphed.”"
