I am in a session at Berkman Center listening to Chris Lydon explaining how he, with the help of internet technologies, plans to be the next NPR. NPR, one of the standard-bearers of the american intelligentsia, has fallen to commercial pressures. One thing I miss with recorded voice is the ability to search through the voice stream. Clearly, speech is still much closer to the stream of consciousness than all the writing you can get done in a day. Capturing more of the worlds great thoughts though audio, and making it accessible to search strikes me as killer.
