So, what does this all mean? Well, the iPod is officially more popular than Jesus. Big winners all around in the field of Philosophy. I guess everyone is trying to figure out why they want an iPod.

Way to go, Baudrillard, RIP dude.

So sorry John, The Beatles really aren't more popular than Jesus, and they probably never were.

Computers are rooted in language. We write computer programs. It is governed by the same simuplistic terms as are present in the phonetic alphabet. The information from voice to eye and vice versa is carried between the two. From the phonetic alphabet we derive certain kinds of experience and knowledge, ontepistemally carried over in to the birth of computers.

Google searches are purely text based. There is no way to search the Internet for images that look like cats. The computing world is completely constrained by the textual programming inherent in the literal aspect of our minds.

As you can see, the Internet is mainly about itself. Tautological, of course. Everyone who writes on the Internet is writing on the Internet.

Just don't forget that all the answers aren't really out there in the techno-void.
