Whistle While You Work


Desceptively pretty. But it's likely these people don't know they're visible: a new program tracks the IP addresses of people editing Wikipedia pages, showing the title of the page being edited and the geographic location of the editor. Like a Ouija pointer, the Google map quickly moves its focus to any point in the world, showing the posting topic at each location.

-Update- This imagery generated by this program in action looks exactly like electrical activity in the brain. I realized that's exactly what it is; a fractal image, synapse on a global scale.

The loss of privacy is omnious, but to see the world thinking as a collective is a religious experience. We truly are all One.
Love to see your comments on this, especially if you've viewed the program in action.
