Naked Emperors: where are all the connected people?

I'm guessing you could make the same argument with a lot of technology, fashion, etc. I think the only edge Minneapolis is known to be on is that of food-on-a-stick.

That's a pretty elitist view of the Midwest.

The first popular web browser (Mosaic) came from the Midwest, you know.

The exception proves the rule? Note, by the way, that I said Minneapolis. I admit that the entirety of the Midwest houses some great schools and centers of social development, but I don't think that's representative of the norm.

I would genuinely like to know if my impression of Minneapolis is incorrect. In what way is its technology adoption on par with that of San Francisco or New York? Is it at the leading edge of anything?

Minneapolis actually has better bandwidth than NYC, and the iPhone actually works there, too.
