For the first time ever I think that technology has really superseded human thought. Look at the internet.
Really look at it. Pretty much everything that anyone has ever thought or ever wanted to express is on there now, but what do people do? They'll just limit themselves to their own thought patterns, visit whatever 5 sites they deem worthy of their time and not really look beyond that.
This is not a judgement, I do it myself. But wow.

If anything has shown how limited the mind can be and how imagination can be and how narrow minded human beings can be the internet has really put us in our place.

It is surely the biggest anthropologist experiment that has ever happened:
'What human beings are'

We are all simple and incapable of really grasping the enourmousness of the universe. Even within one that we all helped to create we still look towards masters and corporations to tell us what to do with it. It's quite sad. But more than that. If we can really grasp our limitations and see it as a way to grow and a way to expand then it will surely still be a helpful assistant.
The age is still new. We haven't even yet begun to experiment with it and what its capabilities are, we started as naive inventors, growing into mass induced corporations, and now are in the subordinate role of following what we are told.
But underneath all of that there is still a certain kind of thing we may call freedom.
People can still make choices, they can still choose to explore the outer realms of the internet and find great art; film, music, photography, words, that can still inspire us to a new sense of reality.

What the internet has shown is much like the drug/hippydom/lsd age that the 60's gave us.
There are countless possibilities, but how many people really want those possibilities? Mostly none.

Humans are still weak and in need of being taken care of, they still want to be told what to do.
Bur someday there will be a breakthrough of people saying:

'There is no one. There is no one but us. And we write the story. And those who are in power have no imagination. It is up to the rest of us to create a story worth living. We are not living it now'
