our destiny is here

A prophet from yesteryear spoke it clearly: The medium is the message. The medium IS the message. And what is the medium, as we approach and are in the flashpoint of civilization, but direct access of all to all, of instant communication of every human on Earth who can gain access to one of the various forms of computer, whether in private possession or at local libraries. The medium, instant communication of all with all, is the message, the message to all humankind. We are in increasingly strong connection. Whether we use this connection to post photos of cats, salve our ego selves, delight in each other's accomplishments and very existence, spear perceived ignorance, post apocalyptic doom, or create a shared vision of possibility is up to us. The point is: the medium, this medium of instant shared communication IS the message. We are in communication. And at one of the most exciting and fearful and awe-full times on Earth. Our destiny is here, not even waiting to knock on the door or ring the doorbell, but is here, in this room, with us now.
