Hi wheel,

I agree with maurice's boosterism of the net. I believe that most people don't really 'get' the net yet, ie they think Web, e-mail, maybe newsgroups etc. These are really just simple rudimentary manifestations, baby steps if you will. The net won't come into its own until it is 'not there' ie seamless, ubiquitous and invisible. Now it is still the domain of the more technically inclined or adventurous, it's main interface still being the PC (or Mac :0).

There is a giant leap though, from AI or collective behaviour to sentience. Ants like humans have a collective intelligence. If they were self aware I think we'd be in trouble :o) Of course proving they are not self aware is probably as easy as proving the existence / non-existence of God.
Any one for an existential discussion on collective insects :0)

I just though maurice was sounding a might too apostolic LOL.
Back to my software.

regards
Kastel
