something about gravity and mobility and the internet

Why the six Ds didn't happen

When computer networks hit popular culture, the notion emerged that space as we know it would - to some extent - collapse. Instead, we find ourselves in a cyberspace in which we, like entangled quantums, are able to stand in immediate contact with people ordinarily far away.

To speculate why the spread of the Internet did not bring about demassification, decentralization, denationalization, despacialization, disintermediation and disaggregation, it is useful to think of electronic communication as a cause for increased mobility, rather than the elimination of space.

Some phenomena, for example in today's economy, resemble gravity in phyics.

internet makes people, entitites more mobile

this mobility (less stickiness to physical places) enables people and entitites to gravitate more quickly
