PC Magazine has commentary from John Dvorak: “The group could be called the Internet Class, the Digital Age Workers, or
even the Digerati–a term popularized by writer/agent John Brockman in his book of the same
title, which profiles the elite of the technology world. In the newest sense of the term, if you are
reading this column, you would quite likely be categorized as one of the digerati. And
apparently, you are about to become important, as a group, to politicos. Maybe now is the time
to organize into a massive pressure group.”
