"Future Primitives"= "Present Primitives" with technology
Is the trans-localization cellS of the internet a return to early human nomadism?? A virtual nomadism where we "hunt" and "gather" information! culture! ideas! and trade material resources!
Yes.
What happens to physical space when ALL our trade routes are monopolized in one virtual world? What will we do with it all?
All that space. All that empty space.
(But i still have cytokines..)
And the use of symbols and icons in our touch screens, desktops, and even for materials in the sense of corporate symbols, is this the reusing of glyphs ,character-based languages which are pictographic/logographic.
When and how are we going to push language over its next little ledge. We have changed the nature of how we use language. But when we will change the way language is enacted. We have extensions of the written form but not yet the vocal chords.
