A quote from the recent paper named "Programming the Global
Brain"<br>
<blockquote>As the scale, scope, and connectivity of these human
computer networks</blockquote>
<blockquote>increase, we believe it will become increasingly
useful</blockquote>
<blockquote>to view all the people and computers on our planet as
constituting a kind</blockquote>
