Drunken Ramble (to the tune of bueno sera by Louis Prima)

So, the world is converging into a global entity. This much we can agree on right?
No? will okay then you go now. The rest of you stay for what surely is the new world order.
The more we access our databases, our computers, our pda's etc., etc. We undergo a change.
This change pits us againt extroveriotn and introvertion. While we are able to access the far reaches of the globe,
we are doing so in more private spaces. Our information sources are connecting in ways never seen before.
Soon one thought leading to the next will lead to all the others in the same moment. What do we do then though?
When we have the mass of information, total and complete at our fingertips. Do we remember it, use it, trash it, what?
Right now, we flash feel. A moment comes up and we think about it but as the saturation of info dies down so does our interest.
I hope that soon we wake up. We wake up to this new revolution. Every piece of news and information at our whim. We can know.
what is happeneing anywhere and anytime. We can act, learn and do. What harms what when everyone knows the whole story?
