There are many ways of using figures to pinpoint such processes. Another saying is that the pace of change on the Internet is faster by a factor of a dog's year multiplied by a dog's year - meaning that life on the Net is 49 times faster than life outside of it. Such phrases may oscillate between the empirical law and the quip, but while writing this book, the swift transformations of the Internet world have become quite concrete to me.
Domains evolve, change, move or expire.
In fact, change on the Internet is so relentless that it seems meaningless to update the descriptions of the various domains made when the chapters were written. When finishing this book, I decided to let them remain as they stand, reflecting various phases of the Internet during the twelve months this book was being written. To attempt to analyze this hectic digital world, ever-changing and fluid, may seem like trying to carve steps in a waterfall. Therefore, I suggest that the reader use the examples in the earlier chapters as illustrations of theoretical principles, rather than as accurate descriptions of what is happening now on the Internet. To be honest, it would be a Sisyphean labor to try to keep up with change on the Net in the slower and more stable medium of a codex book.
