You must mean the AlGorithm™. Invented in 1972 at Harvard, according to George Gilder.

I have constantly written on this ridiculous topic. All around the globe, longevity is roughly proportionate to cellphone use. As long as the Scandinavians and Japanese--the world's heaviest users of cell phones for two decades--continue to live significantly longer than the rest of us there is absolutely no reason to pay any attention to obviously erroneous speculations. Exposed to sunlight, which also has a curious warming effect that should be investigated, the human race evolved in the face of immense electromagnetic radiance. With lightening bolts hitting the earth at a rate of 400 a second, the human race has always been bathed in fields of voltage from the earth. As the radon studies showed, electromagnetic radiation has a hormetic effect that combats cancer and other disorders. It keeps us alive to fulfill our manifest destiny to chatter on cellphones while eating linquini with clam sauce and contemplating the evolution of the AlGorithm since the great man invented it at Harvard in 1972. --GG

This rant always cracks me up.

BTW, I suspect old Al is quite modest. Not a hater.

The "AlGorithm"? Is that what we should be calling it? I guess it is just modesty that keeps him from correcting us every time we call it the "internet". <vbg>
