Innovation, American style
Ta-Nehisi Coates, writing brainlessly, in the New York Times:
We live in the time of Google the Great, whose all-seeing eye has ushered in a golden age of musical democracy. Out at your local bar, and faced with an enchanting, but obscure, slice of music, you can call up an app, hold your mobile device aloft like a scepter, and all the vitals — song, artist, album — are swiftly known to you.
“Google the Great” … “musical democracy” … “hold your mobile device aloft like a scepter” …
Scintillating observation from a high-button fellow admiring his iGadgets.
