We are no longer in complete command of our creations. We are back in the jungle, only this time it is a jungle of our own creation. The technological environment we live within is something to be manipulated and influenced, but never again something to control.

Darwin's expression, "the struggle for existence," is sometimes erroneously interpreted as the struggle between different species. In reality, the struggle Darwin was thinking of and which drives evolution forward is the competition between near relations. What causes a species to disappear or become transformed into a different species is the profitable "invention" that falls by chance to one or a few of its members in the everlasting gamble of hereditary change. The descendants of these lucky ones gradually outstrip all others until the particular species consists only of individuals who possess the new "invention."

Polls are contributing to a strange new volatility in public opinion... [They have] the effect of hardening opinions that haven't even been formed yet. Poll questions do not invite subtlety or response. This dispels ambiguity, when a lot of thoughts and opinions are ambiguous. And we are polled too often. We are constantly having our temperature taken, like a hypochondriac... Nations that use polls as daily temperature readings inevitably give inauthentic readings, and wind up not reassured but demoralized.

If one is afraid of intimacy yet afraid of being alone, even a stand-alone (not networked) computer offers an apparent solution. Interactive and reactive, the computer offers the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship. One can be a loner yet never be alone.
