It reminds me of an experience I have again and again: I currently live as an expat in Sydney, which I find to be quite a calm, conservative and old-fashioned city. From time to time, however, I drop by Hong Kong, and I've been visiting Indonesia and some South American countries - and I always feel the chaotic multitude of impulses, noise and distractions that sometimes arise in those countries (like in the market in Oaxaca) very stimulating and exciting. It is like the senses and attention field gets to work at it's optimum again, after idling away at half-speed in the Australian suburbs. I'm not sure about the relevance, though.. Great post – The Gibson quote is great.

I’m not sure about the relevance, though..

I love the statement about social-networking... that "the noisy conversation taking place within the virtual realm only mimics the seemingly chaotic approach they use in real life when in large groups." It's true. Social Networking is becoming a cyber-space version of what City Squares used to be before the age of the automobile particularly. The future will definitely be distributed unevenly and organic. (as was the past!) Post-modernism is good. oh. This is one of my favourite posts yet.
