3. The Internet as a Collective Nervous System
Drawing a comparison from the development of a human infant -

the body and is, both functionally and structurally, pretty
similar. It is decentralized, redundant (each part can serve as
functional backup in case of malfunction). It hosts information
which is accessible through various paths, it contains a memory

Way back in the good old days of the Internet (mid to late
'Nineties), you could find all sorts of free "stuff" online.
Everything from website hosting and email, to software and long
distance phone calls came free of charge.
Some of the free services survived, while others used their
venture capital to pay for the mansions and yachts of their
CEO's and then closed up shop within a few months - leaving

you being "tracked" on the Web, you're also giving out personal
information, probably without even knowing it.
Do you really want anyone to know where you're going on-line &
what types of websites you frequent? Are you real big on giving
companies ...

full of "ideas" - however, these "ideas" don't seem to be
producing results.
Three reasons come to mind:
Reason # 1: eBooks are not marketed effectively.
Reason # 2: eBook sales pages either do not exist, or they do
not capture the buyers interest.
Reason # 3: The eBook is not written ...

I've never been the overly paranoid type that always thinks
that someone is out to get me. But recent news concerning the
U.S. Government's desire to find out what people like you and I
search for on the Internet makes me a bit uneasy. Compound that
with the fact that the government endorsed eavesdropping on
civilian communication systems following September 11th without
probable cause.
Last summer the Federal Government subpoenaed the search records
of at least the two largest search ...
