<The internet zygote is the precursor to the biggest change on planet earth in human history. It's actually the biggest change on earth since DNA first formed billions of years ago, but I prefer to understate things. >

WOW! Bigger than electicity, the internal combustion engine, railoads, or telephone?? Actually, if goods and people [like beaming on startrek] were possible, I think you might be right... alas FED EX still has to deliver the hardgoods.

<The industrial revolution was a trivial joke compared with the internet and what it's going to do to the world. People have thrown out the baby with the bathwater.>

People may indeed by tossing babies out... 2 questions:

1.) Can you give a brief synopsis of the type of changes you see that support your claim that the internet is bigger than the internal combustion engine or electricity for example??? For instance, I see that the internet shopping has wiped out catelogue shopping over the phone since I can now see them online [sadly someone should tell the catelogue companies this and I keep getting the damn things in the mail] and order without talking to anyone... You must be seeing that retail stores will be closing en masse at the VERY LEAST to support such a claim... what else??? Can you also include past examples like the 20's and 30's where productivity in the farm sector soared as the internal combusion engine [Combines, Tractors, etc.] layed waste to millions of farm jobs sending workers packing to the cities and soup lines?????
