Interesting article by Eric Davis on wireless technology and the changing notion of space.
"Though we "know" that electromagnetic modulations of the spectrum are no less material than waves of electrons cruising along a wire, wireless nonetheless amplifies the experiential sense that we live and move in a world of invisible intelligences, a magic world verging on telepathy.  Simply put, the more the physical apparatus disappears, the more we are simply listening and responding to voices in our heads."
If you like this sort of thing, definitely check out his book Techgnosis. Worth a look.
