with memory removed from the embodied self, there is an erosion of personal autonomy (the external localized memory is the technological network -- which is not a network after all, but a lateral hierarchy). the act of placing memory externally reifies what would be an internally dynamic condition of evolutionary presence. and contributes to an ethical or even moral slide. (assuming that a static condition of memory is problematic -- haven't meditated on that one so much.)

The idea of writing itself was being corrupted; Microsoft was searching for "content providers" but they could not find any content, because the guys who were searching for it didn't know what it was. Cyberspace had made the world so limitless that it started to seem like a series of empty hallways, empty rooms. Wherever you clicked, asking for entrance, you could never quite get past secret words, the mishmash of jargon, the bright-eyed men with their private language.
