There's no reason to believe that this will amount to much. "A total of 746 blog sites have been added in the past 7 days," reports Blogarama. So in striving to be heard, to express our unique selves, we create the din of an electronic rain forest. Beyond the edge of our flat-screen monitors, six billion voices compete in the dark. We count on cold technology to keep us warm, to keep us safe, but it does neither; instead it dampens the flames of our individuality and -- while eliminating personality -- makes our security irrelevant. Humanity destroyed the wild and replaced it with something more ferocious and unfathomable: a hyper-complex spinning ball of fuses and wire. It integrates while it erases. So this is what rotates around the sun today, the Web as planet.
