This view is spookily godlike. You can switch your gaze of a spot in the
world from map to satellite to 3-D just by clicking. Recall the past? It's
there. Or listen to the daily complaints and travails of almost anyone who blogs
(and doesn't everyone?). I doubt angels have a better view of humanity.
Why aren't we more amazed by this fullness? Kings of old would have gone to
war to win such abilities. Only small children would have dreamed such a magic
window could be real. I have reviewed the expectations of waking adults and wise
experts, and I can affirm that this comprehensive wealth of material, available
on demand and free of charge, was not in anyone's scenario. Ten years ago,
anyone silly enough to trumpet the above list as a vision of the near future
would have been confronted by the evidence: There wasn't enough money in all the
investment firms in the entire world to fund such a cornucopia. The success of
the Web at this scale was impossible.
When a company opens its databases to users, as Amazon, Google, and eBay have
done with their Web services, it is encouraging participation at new levels. The
corporation's data becomes part of the commons and an invitation to participate.
People who take advantage of these capabilities are no longer customers; they're
the company's developers, vendors, skunk works, and fan base.

What happens when the data flow is asymmetrical - but in favor of creators?
What happens when everyone is uploading far more than they download? If everyone
is busy making, altering, mixing, and mashing, who will have time to sit back
and veg out? Who will be a consumer?
What will most surprise us is how dependent we will be on what the Machine
knows - about us and about what we want to know. We already find it easier to
Google something a second or third time rather than remember it ourselves. The
more we teach this megacomputer, the more it will assume responsibility for our
knowing. It will become our memory. Then it will become our identity. In 2015
many people, when divorced from the Machine, won't feel like themselves - as if
they'd had a lobotomy.

What has she found? That the Internet links millions of people in new spaces that are changing the way we think and the way we form our communities. That we are moving from "a modernist culture of calculation toward a postmodernist culture of simulation." That life on the screen permits us to "project ourselves into our own dramas, dramas in which we are producer, director, and star.... Computer screens are the new loc
