Network theory is one of the more inclusive developments of recent years, and although it seems to have erupted out of a need to address a sudden technology, there is more to it.  It aligns so nicely with other structural theories of the 20th century, that we do need to ask if it had not been predicted by these same theories.  In terms of how our thoughts move, as well as the speed of an impulse, we seem to have created the very thing we were speaking of theoretically only a generation ago.  Some of the loftier ideas get swept under the rug, however, when we are looking for swift rank optimization  for our own domains, but it’s certainly understandable.

It the current realm or regime, the domain is that one component that speaks most clearly to a notion of private property, and it’s become so enmeshed with notions of identity, that it is exactly as the Frankfurt School bad boys had predicted.  And perhaps delightfully so, for, if it were not for the domain, it would still be necessary to invent it.  Our inventions have become much faster and harder to detect, and they seem to work under cover of night as well as under the cover of day, and arbitrary time lines seem to keep moving in increasingly fuzzy directions.  Under increased scrutiny, we are finding ourselves in that position again, where we were only following orders.

In the century after everything changed, there is more attention paid to the minutia than ever before, because it is simply too paralyzing to look at the crossroads we have been inhabiting for well over a generation.  This is not out of a need to move forward so that we don’t have to pay attention to the small details.  Interestingly, and arguably for the very first time, it is not the details, but the larger picture that is being erased under the current system.  We are walking the highway of SEO, understanding that we will soon be driving at the speed of light.  The very road itself is swept under the proverbial rug until that moment when we wake up to find ourselves driving through our own living rooms, and wondering why there are so many people still awake.
