And as humans, language is our working definition. There are few that know Java and are in control of everything now. Interaction is changing. Changing for the first time since one wrote cave paintings and everyone is seemingly unaware. Expression of opinion and of understanding, now translated twice through screen. An abstraction like this again has not occurred since the first man successfully and eternally communicated thought deep in a French cave. Some say all other arts are trying to be music. Evolutionarily sound is the most ancient of communication techniques after seeing something happen. It is the most rooted in our Limbic, most easily translated into emotion discounting seeing something of emotional relevance occur. After music came writing which is normally next as potent, photography and painting attempted to replicate visual experience. We can see the emotional deterioration by comparing the emotional experience between being somewhere and seeing a picture of somewhere. This same level of emotional deterioration I expect to result from the deterioration of human interaction. Interaction through screen, through Java will be less. The smartest of our breed will get the most out of this new medium because they are the best at abstraction, the smartest always have been. Everyone will then follow. Space is no longer relevant. Nor is time. It should be. We haven't yet passed biology, but maybe my younger cousins have, that's how fragile this situation is right now. Stop and think for a moment about our time yourself. You are alive for questionably the most revolutionary time in Human existence: by the definition of life, the death of life.
