Come to think of it, human technological
ingenuity created an alter-universe, one
where everything is contained, a complete
existence of thought and conclusion, data
infrastructure and cohesion in what otherwise
might be a vacuum but which humanity has
filled with the flotsam and jetsam of all that
concerns it. The metaphorical reach-out from
continent to continent, the babel of language
translated, the capacity to carry on the human
tradition of hostile repartee with those whose
truth tramples your own. We search for news
and it reaches out to us sending tentacles of
influence to tackle our brains. The Internet
has become the Master of All mustering the
entire population of this planet to its will in
an addiction of impositions stealing our lives
away. It is the great leveller the medium by
which anyone addresses everyone. For the first
time in human history this equalizer enables
the arrogant humble to address their political
masters, like intimate slave to royalty. No one
is immune from the spite that bubbles up, the
adoration that elevates, slander that denigrates
for we are as one enraptured and captured.
