Everything you ever need to know about the internet
A funny thing happened to us on the way to the future. The internet went from being something exotic to being boring utility, like mains electricity or running water -- and we never really noticed. We wound up being totally dependent on a system about which we are terminally incurious. The internet has quietly infiltrated our lives, and yet we seem to be remarkably unreflective about it. That is not because we are short of information about the network; on the contrary, we are awash with the stuff. It is just that we do not know what it all means. We are in the state of "informed bewilderment."
