The Internet

Spore
I read “just had to shout this one out” on 2 cents worth and which is about Spore a PC game that is one of the most detailed story of evolution. There are five stages, cell, creature, village, civilization, and space. Through these stages you’re trying to perfect your creature’s evolution through rigorous mouse clicking. It’s really fun involving several games into one. It’s probably the closest thing to actually experiencing the evolution of a species. And with the internet you can actually find your friend’s civilization and interact with other players and it makes me wonder what can’t we do with the internet.
Through the internet you can talk to other people, listen to music, watch your favorite videos, play games, sell and buy things, and millions of other things. What we have essentially done is put the human mind into a legible format. We can see what the human species is thinking, and what is most important to our lives. It’s no longer a web more another universe inside of a few wires. So why do they charge us to enter this ultimate not to mention unlimited resource. It doesn’t compute with the system of supply and demand, there’s measureable amount of demand, and infinite supply so the internet should be free. Now I wonder what would it look like if you were to gather all of the websites and take a census on what is what and map it out in a neat little tree diagram? I did some research on how many websites there are and as of February 2007 there are 108,810,358. That’s not including the different branches of each website. It’s only going to continue to grow as our world advances. And I want you to imagine you’re an ant with 109 million (and growing) different branches to climb. I’m surprised we haven’t all curled into little balls in a corner trying to comprehend how we were capable of doing such unfathomable tasks and still survive. I guess ignorance is bliss.
