Technology is shifting our way of seeing the world. The internet really has changed the world completely. Pray tell, what is the world? Seriously, I want to know what people mean by this. If the world has been changed completely, why does the silver maple outside my window still stand as it has for decades? Why is the gazpacho at Emilios as good as it was when I first tasted it, twenty-five years ago? Why does the prose of Sir Thomas Browne still delight me as it did when I first encountered it at age nineteen? Why do I still love my wife?

If you answer, Well, thats not what they mean by the world, I counter, Then what do they mean? Because all those things I just mentioned are in the only world that I know.
