The Internet, and the "world at our feet"

For two days, our phone cable broke, and I was not on the Net.. Today, TM guys came and reattached the cable, and I am back in touch.. It also made me realise that a 40year old length of copper wire, now taped and joined with a shorter length, can start revolutions, do big business, spread pornography, destroy reputations, and even market sheep placenta and Spring, a Herbal Viagra.etc etc  It's a really humbling thought! A few electrons flowing at the speed of light literally at a touch, and the world can be smashed to smithereens...
