Maybe Humans Aren't So "Special" After All
"Decay in the belief in self is driven not by technology, but by the culture of technologists, especially the recent designs of antihuman software like Facebook, which almost everyone is suddenly living their lives through. Such designs suggest that information is a free-standing substance, independent of human experience or perspective. As a result, the role of each human shifts from being a 'special' entity to being a component of an emerging global computer." Chronicle of Higher Education 08/29/10
