james donald, Imaging the Modern City.
this quote has kicked off a thought in my head. on a normal week, i converse with people in america, melbourne, ireland, england, iceland, germany, and people in various stages of sydney living. my point being, with the click click click of my mouse, the boundaries of my city have spread, turned into an electronic sprawl of interpersonal relationships.
i do not believe that the internet will take over the world, due the feel of people fearing copyright breaches, download time for anything like a simple tune, modem speeds, the fact that staring at an image and being right in front of a work of art are two different things, and of course, the ever existing desire to make money out in the empty cyber space. it just won't replace the city.
but the internet has changed the city.
something for me to look into, i think.
