What was once the Internet is now becoming The Internet(tm)(r)(c), parts of the artifacts that made all this…this..things like treating all data like all other data…creating content rather than regurgitating echo spew…pushing out rather than walling in….these things are , for me at least, like the pots in this story. There is more to the story of pots than this bit tells; you can listen to it at http://www.radiolab.org/story/things   and in still more ways I am reminded of what the net was, is, and becoming.
