On the flight home from Cedar Rapids the other day I was deep into Wikinomics when the woman sitting next to me, looked up from her bible study book, looked at the cover of the book I was reading and asked “What’s wikinomics?” pronouncing the “i” in wiki as an “a”. Not knowing how much she knew about the Internet I stated my explaination with “It’s about how new Internet technologies are effecting businesses and the economy…” At this point a relieve expression came over her face, she smiled, and said “Oh, I thought it was about witchcraft.”
