A few moments on Google and I now have an idea of what Haiku is (and see the relevance of the blog title! It would be interesting to try a day expressing oneself using only "three (or fewer) lines of 17 or fewer syllables") - and have been introduced to an American Mr Bush that everyone can admire. Perhaps this particular technology is still used mainly for idle pursuits but I believe that there is now a generation working in business who would be lost without the internet. We are adapting and, perhaps, being adapted and I would suggest that slowly we are rising out of the mire.

And from his biography, the web didn't quite turn out how Tim Berners-Lee might have hoped either: compared with Vannevar Bush's lofty aspirations with the whole 'memex' idea, most of the use of the web is pretty gutterbound. And if we're looking at the stars while we're down there, it's more to peer up the skirts of one kind than to aspire to the hghts of the other. As you point, using technology to encourage loftier behaviour might not have a great track record! Exactly.
