| Having a
blog is rather like publishing your own, on-line version of Reader's
Digest, with daily updates: you troll the Internet, and, when you
find an article or a
Web site that grabs you, you link
to it—or, in weblog
parlance, you "blog" it. Then other people
who have blogs—they are known as bloggers—read
your blog, and if they like it they
blog your blog on their own blog. |

The importance of money
essentially flows from it being a

I liked the
idea that a piece of information
is really defined only by what

connected.

People said

We found that it was very much an
interrupt-driven style of work that was emerging. |
| The consensus is that the
internet is getting less diverse and more
homogenized as it becomes more
commercial. |
In a campaign that is largely being fought with old aircraft and tanks, the new networks that now link aircraft cockpits, command posts and tank crews have allowed each to see far beyond their own fields of vision.

Because
its
electronic underpinnings are so modular, geographically
dispersed, and redundant, cyberspace
is essentially indestructible. You
can't demolish it by cutting links
with backhoes or sending
commandos to blow up electronic installations, and you can't even nuke
it.
