Connecting without borders is a beautiful thing. Many folks still don't understand what this form of speech really means and why it is so powerful. Controllers understand, and are trying to ruin it now. It feels bad to see it in it's infancy, and note just how little time it has taken to scheme up other ways to wreck it, especially in the area of communication through our music.

"The Internet has had an enormous impact on people's lives around the world in the ten years since Google's founding. It has changed politics, entertainment, culture, business, health care, the environment and just about every other topic you can think of. Which got us to thinking, what's going to happen in the next ten years?... ... ...."

� Internet Turns 40 Today: First Message Crashed System �

October 29, 2009
" -Everyone surfing for last-minute Halloween costumes and pictures of black Lolcats today�what you might call the 40th anniversary of the Internet�can give thanks to the simple network message that started it all:

"lo"

On October 29, 1969, that message became the first ever to travel between two computers connected via the ARPANET, the computer network that would become the Internet.... "

The truncated transmission traveled about 400 miles (643 kilometers) between the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Stanford Research Institute.(Watch video about the birth of the Internet.)

"The electronic dispatch was supposed to be the word "login," but only the first two letters were successfully sent before the system crashed.

Still, that humble greeting marked the start of a phenomenon that has become such an important part of modern life that many experts argue access to it should be a right rather than a privilege.

In fact, earlier this month Finland became the first country in the world to declare broadband Internet access a legal right for all of its 5.2 million citizens.... ..."

�2012 Update �

Yes, Mixey...
and here we are...
now in 2012,
and the Internet hasn't totally self destructed... yet...
since that first
"lo"
that crashed the system,
trying to complete the word "login"... 43 years ago.

And we are still
trying to keep the system from being crashed
by... the 'system' ...
only now, it's a a fight to stop stuff like
big lobby money hijacking legislative bills and deceptive stuff like...
SOPA & PIPA... four letter words,,,

Interesting... maybe we all need to go back to "lo" and just pause,
and look at it all for a while...
before the big lobby money zars take it all over...
and won't let us look at it... at all, any and all of it...
all of what we've all created in 43 years of typing away... crafting,
... the good... bad... ugly...and the incredibly, human beautiful craziness of it all,
...without first getting "their permission" from the gatekeepers,
to "login" with a special visa usually reserved for the priveliged few...
to see how it all... used to be.

I hope not... ever.

We already now have "TV"... one vast "wasteland of useless knowledge" as I believe Marshall Mcluhan once called it.

Yes, Piracy sucks,,, go get the bad guys in a major way, government...
but... leave the freedom of the Internet, as we know it, alone.
