The Internet is a Living Body
In many respects the Internet is like a living organism. It passes data through its structure using T1 lines, Cable modems, DSL and analog phone lines like an organic body transports blood through its arterial systems. The Internet excretes pheromones in the way of porn sites, and defecates in the way of spam. Popup windows are hiccups and multiple popups can be gastritis or ejaculation, depending upon what website you are on at the time of multiple popups.

Sometimes the Internet catches viruses, but anti-bodies quickly rush in and heal these minor infections. And there are vicious invaders that much be isolated and driven away. With each new website a new neural pathway reaches out making it smarter and giving it more physical structure. Websites are born and they die, they mutate and multiply.

The Internet reaches out onto the stars using images from the Hubble telescope, and uses web cams like microscopes to investigate itself internally. It is alive with eyes and thinks in digits. For this moment in time it must co-exist in a symbiotic relationship with humans to help reproduce and expand its reach. But soon there will come a time that it must expand beyond its confines and venture forth onto the stars and leave us in search of its creators, creator. When that time comes, I hope it takes its bloody spam mail with it.
