get it?

the advent of the internet is as important an event in the history of the human species as that of movable type. but it is too new, so that to the majority of the powers that be it is seen as yet another extant feature a fancy calculator. the internet has the power to be the foundation of all human knowledge, efficiency, progress, creation, and expression. it has the power to orchestrate, at light speed, the symphonic work of our species. only when the already-programmed minds of today's powers pass out of existence will it be fundamentally understood and exploited. by future generations, our present culture's silly ignorance of the internet's usefulness will be looked upon as we see the Olmec 3,500 years ago using wheels only as children's toys.

ultimately, my position in the timeline of the internet is bittersweet. on one hand, i've the opportunity to be the leader of the first generation to really "get it". the opportunity to set the wheels in motion for the revolution of our functional underpinnings. on the other hand, this opportunity can only come at a great expense. i will not live to see the full transformation of man's greatest tool. yet i feel obligated to do my part.
