    Area Woman Answers US History Question Using Only iPhone, Glee

    the iPhone is awsome-- a random woman just came up to me (after asking someone else) and asked if I knew what the Homestead Act was. I'm sitting in Borders, so this is not an everyday situation (now I wish I'd asked her why she was going person to person in a bookstore cafe asking US history questions. Getting her GED? Helping her kid with his homework?)

    It was like a commercial.  I said I didn't remember but I had the Internet and could check.  "Where is your Internet connection?" she asked.

    "IN MY PHONE!" I said. 

    I looked it up for her right there and in two minutes we both knew what the Homestead Act was. =)
