The network is like a brain, today, very adaptative. If a part gets damaged, another route emerges.
Which makes me think, I was having this theory when I was younger that we actually gave earth awareness.
The network infrastructure is actually pretty close to a brain, with data propagating from a node to another, with activation thresholds, inhibition, etc... She might be thinking now, without us knowing...
Yep. I share this perspective. I think the set of people, computers and communication networks on this planet represent a sentient being, which is evolving, learning, growing.
