Jeez, people can be so literal-minded. Whatever happened to lateral thinking, or imagination ? I find it rich with irony that among the first responses to this piece are tired old prejudices about religion. As if the world wasn't already ****** up enough thanks to the inability of different faiths to co-exist. There may be hyperbole here - but it's (shock) 'good' hyperbole - the sort whereby people have to think, and challenge their assumptions, rather than meekly cow-tow to the latest inane offerings from more traditional media. The Internet is not, never was, and never will be, a commercial medium. Don't agree ? How much are you being paid to read, think about, or respond to these words ? We are all here because we want to talk to each other, and because we can ! Add up all the cumulative profits of pure-play Internet companies over the past 4 years, and you probably get to about - $10bn, give or take the odd billion. The Internet in its first, prime, instance is a communications channel. No corporation in its right mind would boast of being 'THE telephone company' simply by having all its employees use the phone. The Net is already that well ingrained in corporate culture, or it nearly is. I'd rather have the visionary 'bible-bashing' (but without the religious overtones that gets the zealots all worked up) than facile smiley-talk from tired old world media any day. love..
