*Digital* Nervous System
If you haven't already noticed, a digital nervous system is
being established at this very moment - that is, the modern
technology of the internet. Like any nervous system, it allows
messages to be sent to all people in any part of the world, just
like in the body, where nerve impulses can be sent to any part of
the body.
The internet world, is composed of the
people("neurons"), the computers("nerves"),
and the output, the messages one sees on the monitor("the
responses one make due to the signals"). This system, just
as the body's nervous systems, is network based. The internet is
networked through cables and satelites while the body's nervous
systems are linked through nerves.
You may scorn at the idea of this digital nervous system, but it
is through this network where millions of people can interact
with each other and share ideas that will make this world a
better place to live in. The internet is so fast growing that
people can shop through it, play games, get the latest news
around the busy world, acquire knowledge and do many many more
things that were thought as fantasies and science-fiction in the
past.
