U.S. Cities Don't Make the Intelligence Cut

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-most-common-elements-in-the-universe-are-hydrogen-and-stupidity dept.

coondoggie writes "For the second year running, no U.S. city has made the list of the world's top Intelligent Communities of 2007, as selected by global think tank Intelligent Community Forum. The ICF selects the Intelligent Community list based on how advanced the communities are in deploying broadband, building a knowledge-based workforce, combining government and private-sector "digital inclusion," fostering innovation and marketing economic development."

    If all you watch on YouTube is Family Guy clips and anime, no, you probably won't become any more intelligent.

    Hey, depends on the anime.

    If you watch a lot of Dragonball you may well become a better person... the Goku Effect. Hey, even Vegeta became a better person for hanging out with Goku.
