In einem Artikel der New York Review of Books zur Frage, ob das Internet zu einer Horizonterweiterung oder -verengung führt, folgendes Zitat David Weinbergers, Betreiber der Website Journal of the Hyperlinked Organization, gefunden:

There is more and more to distract us — more sites to visit, more arguments to jump into, more dirty pictures to download, more pure wastes of time. The fact that the Web is distracting is not an accident. It is the Web's hyperlinked nature to pull our attention here and there. But it is not clear that this represents a weakening of our culture's intellectual powers, a lack of focus.... Maybe set free in a field of abundance, our hunger moves us from three meals a day to day-long grazing.... Perhaps the Web isn't shortening our attention span. Perhaps the world is just getting more interesting.

Darauf dann an ein fröhliches Verankern, Vernetzen und Verweben!
