It happens. from the brain to the computer. sometimes going through iterations. other times emerging fluidly. you see it. you touch it. you experience it. you might need to 'sign in' to see it. you might need to 'update your user profile' or upload a picture. nevertheless. it exists. it springs from a business model, forged from a spreadsheet.

you keep coming back to it, checking it sometimes several times a day. your forward it to 100 of your closest 'friends'. this is your career, your life. your hopes and dreams. your aspirations.

i played a part in this. a big part. hours a day, days a week, months a year.
