Internet Air..... Peter: See inline below.... >>Someone's going to do alot of things - fortunately one thing I've learned is there is no single right way to do many things in life :) I do not believe a system as you seem to explain it will be the best system possible. I understand you obsession with fragmenting control which at times clouds your judgement. I also think you need to brush up on your vocabulary some when it comes to discussing the technology.>> Look at is this way. The net already slices and dices your data into little IP bits and pieces. The solution to this is quite simple: after slicing and dicing you just add a third dimension - ie. destination, location, storage address - to the packet. Hundreds, thousands and millions of these new destinations can be added after passing through the original object, filter destination, etc. There's a way of optimizing this approach to actually relieve net congestion/traffic. Bottom line, when the slicing, dicing and compression is done, the theory is that you only need 20% of the original fragmented data to restore/retrieve what your requesting. Again, look at it this way. Current net/storage/directories assume only two legs: 1) the leg requesting data/service and 2) the leg sending data/service. I'd argue that the net is about validating the primacy of a theorectical 3rd leg - call this agency, service, risk or value-added leg. This is where these virtual proxies, objects and filters come into play. This leg adds a vertical dimension that creates more "freedom" and energy while ensuring more privacy/security. My guess is that the net would sing and get a whole lot more efficient. Perhaps I2 will open some of these new doord. Bi-directional control systems are negated by the simple introduction of this third leg. Fragmented, intelligent storage will be actually more private and secure then current systems. I agree that the personal directory creates a personal control proxy, but it's only skin deep. Retrieving all these pieces is done just like breathing air. Under MY control. Where ever, whenever. My lungs have the power, control to breath air. And by the same token these third intelligent agent legs will allow me to have more power/control over the way I interact with the net. Nobody but the INDIVIDUAL has control in an environment that validates this third leg. If we don't start thinking and embracing this stuff there are others who will want to occupy/take this control from us. And that'd be like regulating my right to breath. I appreciate the positive questions Peter. Sorry if this sounds like scrambled eggs. But aren't you the omlet guy?? Peace. GO!!
