Everything is widened, pushed further. Everything is becoming interdependent, related, to and by the rest of everything. The technology of the day dictates the day, the day's relation to everything that is conscience in that day. The technology of the day is so “exciting”, instantaneous access to unlimited amounts of irrelevant information that becomes relevant through its access. This relevance comes from the ease of its grasp. No longer does one search only to find nothing that was looked for, card catalogs are banished, one typed word can find more information than can be consumed in a day. If I type duck land into a search engine I will be captivated and involved with the relevance of this irrelevant information for some time.

As an individual I am erased. I am ta number, a student, a son, a daughter, a sister, a brother, a stranger. I can be seen everywhere, I am recorded countless times a day and saved in databases. Privacy has become public, records are formed. These records date from an individual's point of existence, and recently (due to computer technology of the last 30 years) can be checked in seconds. Files are no longer hard to locate or dig up; computers can unearth personal information in seconds. This personal information can be relayed across the world in seconds to complete strangers. These strangers in effect become connected, engaged with the identity that is being transmitted. Circles grow bigger. Oceans and mountains no longer bind one; invisible barriers called countries no longer limit culture. This is the medium of current time.
