There will no longer be a difference between a copy and the original, both being merely consumable and disposable bit-streams. The outcry of brilliance will be drowned by the noise of the masses. Instead, emphasis is put on the abstract 'progress of mankind', thus making excellence anonymous. This brief survey of the structure of the internet society should serve as a strong indication that this evolving process cannot be left to itself. There is in fact great need for internet regulation, for the erection of boundaries, it being irrelevant that this might inherently conflict with the essence itself of the internet society.
Human life demands the existence of an authentic public and a private sphere.
The everyday inter-human relationships derive their significance not from the everyday life itself, but from the exceptional moments. Similarly, the outstanding quality of the public life diminishes significantly when exposed continuously to the public light. There must be a possibility to retreat to the security of the secluded home. The lack of both results in endless shallowness. Please do not redistribute this mail without the author's permission.
