the curious case of the dog in cybertime
October 15, 2007
When the internet is further along, how and where it will have extended to and in which areas it will have deposited reckonable vaults of usefulness, having guessed accurately its inclinations will be fortunate.
The internet is an organic archive of shifting sets.
An accelerating snowball that sloughs off the detritus as it progresses, and as it is less responsibly handled the more detritus is promoted as the stuff of authority.
As an access, the digitalization of knowledge codes, is an exponential increase from bibliophilia.
There is no divining rod in cyberspace. There is no reliable clock.
In cybertime there is no regulator. As in the physical universe, there is anarchy and entropy.
I wonder how the vast stores of data will come to be regulated.
The inventory of visual attachments to images and identity.
How to define its potential ahead of time?
How to exploit it for ones own gain?
How to connect wishes with wishes?
