On Navigation


I don't understand the internet and this frustrates me--I don't understand precisely what it is and I sure as hell don't know where it is. Goodness gracious, how could Al Gore have invented it? How could anyone have invented it? Where, in fact, did it come from?

Phrases like, "dark fiber, strung around the world" don't help at all. Precision of language, please! You can't report the news in poetry and metaphors (and I believe poetry helps almost every situation).

For my contribution to greater clarity on these issues, I'm posting a map of the internet (although it isn't clear to me where it will help you go).

I have a far easier time believing in God than I have believing in the internet.
