Should you believe that print media are obsolete (300,000
books are published annually world-wide), consider the more
than 2 billion Web pages in the world, a large chunk of
which can't even be found with the best search engines. The
amount of Internet traffic doubles every hundred days.

To control attention means to control experience, and
therefore the quality of life. Information reaches
consciousness only when we attend to it. Attention acts a
filter between outside events and our experience with them. 
How much stress we experience depends more on how well we
control attention, than on what happens to us.

And that power is fun. Last sunday I was in the train from Napoli to
Roma, that arrived after 1 o clock instead of 21. Roma football hooligans
had stopped the train before in each station with the emergency
break. Another way of living. A prostitute from hungary asked the stupid
question: "Is there no police" ?

Btw, those hools were rather friendly prols, smoking one joint after the
other, no drinking, singing their supporting songs. Roma/Napoli was 2:2.

Well, customers had still the choise to go AOL or whatever. We had the
same situation here with a big telephon company (for long distance
phonecalls) that couldnt pay its own telephone bill. Thats market.
