Global Brain Waves
All we do know is that things are moving faster and faster and faster. Which is an absolutely natural part of evolution. Simple cells, bacteria, took a couple of billion years to evolve, the first half of Earth's history is just simple cells. And then much more complex organisms evolved much faster, mammals, we're just talking about fifty million years or so, human beings have been around just a million years or so. Society is just a few thousand years old, the Industrial Revolution a couple of hundred years ago and the Information Revolution just a couple of decades. I think the consciousness change is even faster, it may not need a new species to come along. We may actually be able to develop the new values, the new way of thinking ourselves, and so prove we can live in harmony with ourselves and the planet. . . . Computing power is doubling every eighteen months, but the World Wide Web is doubling, now as I speak, every fifty eight days. This means nobody knows where its going, not even in a years time. Right now, there are people thinking up ideas which will be mainstream in six months and which other people will use to create new things. . . . I think one of the most interesting things about the web is that as well as giving us information it's also a spiritual vehicle. The fastest growing area in the book business is now spirituality and a lot of those people who are interested in spiritual things are also people who are playing with the web. . . . There's no one guru out there who is telling us all the answers. We're learning from each other, and the web is making that happen much faster.
