Позиция "I surf therefore I am" очень точно описывает реальность все большего количества людей. Масштаб моей мысли не позволяет мне проанализовать влияние интернетизации всех миров и народов, поэтому я просто поделюсь понравившимся наблюдением девятилетней давности:
The Net world is a second universe, a kingdom in our midst,
with sights and sounds, landscapes and knowledge-scapes, markets
and amusements, romances and resources—many of which
have never before been seen on earth. It burgeons forth, this
Village of villages, gaining each hour more and more inhabitants,
who live and move and have their being in a world which
is nowhere and everywhere.
