First conversation
Words, explanations, understandings, conflicts
Language
Next writing
Cursive, cuneform, print, correspondence
Telephony
Substations, party lines, area codes
Then computers
Email, websites, search engines
And blogs
Self publishing, art distribution, criticism, comedy,
Recognition, comments, readership
Computer conversation
15 minutes of internet fame for some
Mammoth databases containing unread masterpieces
for others
Blogosphere
Millions of netizens
Daily questions and answers
Checking comments
Espousing wisdom and banality
Sometimes at the same time
