AG13: Which Culture Are You A Part Of?

Download Episode 13

This week Chris and Russ look back on C. P. Snow's book The Two Cultures. The Two Cultures was one of the first books (actually it started out as a lecture) which pointed out that the techies were not talking to the literary and artistic types and vise versa. You can find The Two Cultures on Amazon.

You can find the early modem article here on boing boing.

How Stuff Works has a good article about how modems work. If you read the article, you will find that Russ is mistaken about exactly how DSL works: DSL actually just expands the range of frequencies available to the modem.
