“It is the largest thing we have ever built, and we have assembled it from transistors—the smallest things we know how to make.
“It is a chrysalis we are forming around the planet…a table where we sit to gossip, a suq where we buy and sell; a shadowy corner for planning mischief; a library holding the entire world’s information; a friend, a game, a matchmaker, a psychiatrist, an erotic dream, a babysitter, a teacher, a spy….
The best and worst and most ordinary of us reflected—and perhaps distorted—in a silvery fog of bits.” via humorzo
