I've been wanting to blog about this for a while.

As I've engaged more and more with the web, and moved from observer to participant, I've been kept awake some nights wondering where it's all heading. My mind has wandered into, as yet, unlit territory. It's overwhelming to ponder where we will be next year this time, and how different things will be, and how long they can go on at the current rate of change. These two beauties sum up, perfectly, what's been going on inside my head:

 

 

Shift Happens

 

Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us

Feeling, well, I'm not really sure I can pin it down this time.

How about you?

Excellent post. Let me say this about that - it's related, but not related. On Friday, I looked up Solid State hard drives - these are IDE or SATA drives that are 100% memory. The ones I looked at are 60gig. A 60 gig drive that plugs into your current IDE port on your computer - BUT it's 100% memory - no platters, etc. Speed? Blazing fast. Cost? $15,000. Someone might GASP at that, BUT - In the early 80's in TRS-80 Magazine, a 1 GIG hard drive was close to $5,000. Today, a 500 gig hard drive is around $150. What does it all mean? It means when my seven year old son grows up, he's going to have one heck of a PC...

Or when he grows up, he will be the PC? It's like the tables have already been turned and now we're the processing power. We've become search engines and spiders, crawling, tagging and arranging. Yike.

Don't you feel sometimes too connected? too wired? How is it that social networking spreads like wildfire? myspace/facebook/nextbigthing3.0 just takes over. If the average myspace page is visited 30 times a day, what the hell are people doing? Content is like crack. Got to get our fix. Everyone getting sucked in.

You have successfully boggled my mind. Now I'll go out and water the flowers.

You have taken the time to read this and for this brief moment you have given me control over your mind. Thank you. You may resume your life now...

It is indeed a rabbit hole. But I'm more than happy to see how deep it is.
