Just how our worldviews are informed and influenced by technology is a very interesting question. One question I've been thinking a lot about lately is how the social networking and connectivity is influencing new generations of kids growing up taking these technologies for granted. What are the advantages and trade-offs? Phillips asserts that we don't t simply adopt an entire framework like putting on a set of clothes - however, I believe that in response to certain critical questions, entire worldviews do in fact hinge. For instance, whether or not someone thinks that human nature is evil is a critical matter, if someone takes their thoughts and beliefs to heart.

This perception is a product of moving from the linear string of text of the scribe to the tabular lists of text made possible by the printing press. With the advent of the digital age networks have begun to emerge as a conceptual perspective in ways never before conceived. We understand grids very well if you consider relational databases. We don't even know the laws that govern networks. Even now social networks are expanding the horizon of our knowledge further than conventional networks. What do you do when every node is intelligent? You are addressing interesting questions, however technology and thought are leaving grids behind.
