: : : Hate to be a killjoy but for whom is the
web "always there?" Aside from the fact that
web navigator software crashes all the time so
one cannot easily get "there," many around us have
no relationship to the Web, or at least not a
conscious knowledge of how it is encroaching on
their lives.
: : :I was suggesting a perverse possibility (or dinosaur)
... web-grown virtual citizens
unaccountable for their actions
feasting on, invalidating or judging the
"technological homeless." They (including
individuals attempting to generate fixed, stable
identities
outside a virtual world,) might not be protected
anymore by anonymity.
"Always there" with rights violations, panic
enforcement and a Virtual Identity State theme park
threatening to scuttle, scatter flavor and
enhance domestic lives.
