There is something different about having the entirely-portable telephone that can access information from everywhere, anywhere you go: maps, music, reference works. That has created a noticeable cultural change that a kindle has not.

I think my take on measurement differs from his, though his Thomist categories may still apply. I need to think it over a bit. Thanks for pointing this out again.
