The knowledge we have is that computers are one of the only products we willingly buy knowing they don't work properly. Everywhere becomes the same as everywhere else.
Community becomes commodity - a shopping village, sedated and under constant surveillance.
The desire for community is then fulfilled elsewhere, through spectacle, sold to us in simulated form. The real street, in this scenario is sterile. A place to move through, not be in. It exists only as an aid to somewhere else - through a shop window, billboard or petrol tank. The Earth is dying it is being killed.
