Witness the Awesome Might of The Internet


From a personal muse and hero of this blog, Bruce Sterling comes this photo. Probably taken in Serbia where Sterling currently resides. As Sterling says, "Just look at it swaggering over those crumbly Tito-era structures."

Does anyone in Clinton even know or remember who Josip Broz Tito was?

Most of you readers grew up in a world riven by the Cold War and the underlying struggle between market democracy and state capital. Difficult to believe now as we watch the works of the Last Stage of History crumble into dust a mere seventeen years after 1989. Rising triumphantly from the ashes is what is certainly the Next Stage of History - The Internet Age.

Keep in mind that the Internet too will fall into dust. And probably in less than the seventy-two years (1917 - 1989) that it took Communism.
