Happy accidents

This morning on my phone over coffee, I was reading a wonderful interview with Bob Dylan in the New York Times. At some point he mentioned Ginsberg, Corso and Karouac.

I have loved the work of Ginsberg and Karouac since I was a teenager, but Corso was off my radar. I promptly Googled him, and then spend a happy 20 minutes reading the Wikipedia article about this fascinating Beat poet of the streets.

I love the way our modern world allows for random connections and happy accidents of discovery. I wonder whether those happy accidents will increase in the coming years, as SmartPhones are replaced by wearables.

That would be pretty cool.
