What is missing so far in this digital community are the pleasures of the senses, the smell of autumn, warmth of summer sun on our skin, ice on our noses in January. We don't need overcoats and umbrellas because there is no body in cyberspace to clothe or protect.
Nothing grows and nothing decays.
No one ages. Time is an ancient and untranslated language. We are detached from the rhythms of seasons, of night and day. No moon rises, no sun sets. We are in a mindscape community.
