Everyone wants access to unlimited information ... but then we don't want to give it up about ourselves. It's going to happen, though, when mobile web and GPS tracking and video creation and databases all converge. All points in the network will be listed. In a way, though, this takes us back go our early beginnings. You know those new studies that say humans can all be traced back to a single tribe in Africa of 2,000 people or so, our common ancestors? I bet in that age, everyone knew everything about everyone. We had to share, be honest, and we were recognized but anything we did was also part of the public record. Maybe our recent 10,000 years of hiding in small clusters and secreting our wants and needs and fighting selfishly with others has been an aberration. Maybe, now, with us all returning to a single clan, we'll have to learn to be open, and to get along. You touch on the idea that we are on the edge of a revolution, one that we have asked for.
