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.
