Great site, Count. Wasn't aware of it.

'The growth of the Internet over the last several decades more closely resembles biological evolution than engineering.'

It may closely resemble it, but it's not biological evolution and to imagine that when it becomes complex enough, self awareness will just emerge is without any kind of basis. But I know people who think this will happen.

If we step for a moment into the realms of sci-fi, if the Net became aware, what kind of picture would it put together of humankind? With access to all of our glory and all our of scum. I am not so sure it would look upon us with benificence.
