A very interesting thought! Where is my mind? Is the I really a we? Is mankind becoming a kind of a beehive?

As for posters concern about the internet taking over control, I suggest we compare this with the invention of the press by Gutenberg. There were concerns about that too. Nowadays we even could not think about individuality and personal freedom without it.

I think our efforts to preserve freedom and originality should be inside of the internet, not outside of it. It's like, DON'T stop the presses!
