I Chose Albert Einstein if only because that's 2 words... I love it. Best line from Dennis Leary: "TWO words, Nuclear F'in Weapons, Okay?!"

Also, Einstein said it was fooling to remember anything you can look up.

Also.. ...

...I forget.

How does a PDA make you smarter? My Visor enables me to be much more organized, and, therefore, more productive during the day, but it doesn't make me any 'smarter'.

I think I've managed to dump a good portion of my memory into my Visor, so now I don't have to worry about remembering dates, phone numbers (not that I was very good at those anyway), grocery list, other miscellaneous notes etc. My Plat gives me a handy place to store all that junk in now. If I lose or forget it, I'd be lost.

Theoretically it means now I have room for more important things. In reality though, that space will probably just get filled up by trivia.

Jeopardy here I come!!

dear yorik, albert einstine is a famous scientist in american(i think) history. he is most remembered for his equation E=MC squared.

"dear yorik, albert einstine is a famous scientist in american(i think) history. he is most remembered for his equation E=MC squared."

You're kidding right? I thought Albert Einstein was the scientist who came up with E=MC2. I'm pretty sure he was born in one of those tiny european countries where people wore leather shorts. I think he did move to America so he could be a film star, date Marilyn Monroe, and wear fuzzy sweaters. Didn't he have a pet kangaroo, too?

PS My PDA has no bearing on my smarts, or lack of 'em. I'm my own man. Excuse me, gotta go, my wife wants me to put out the trash!

Without my Visor I would be hopelessly lost. Without my Visor though, I WOULDN'T BE PLAYING GAMES IN CLASS! But the upsides let me worry about more important things than remembering, and keeping organized which I can't do. Too late. Must go to bezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
