The Intersections of Technology and Myth

Well, i don't seem to understand the message the author is trying get across to the readers in this chapter. This chapter really got on my nerves although it was informative. It seems really weird that this same common medium would solve the world's problem if only the people who invented it would connect the world."People do use the internet to create false identity" oh yes, absolutely many people all over the world create fake identities online for relationships,fraud e.t.c Most people on social network don't put their real pictures up just because they enjoy online fraud. "without the communication technologies we have now, we could not sustain the social and dispersed social and professional networks which many people take for granted". whereas we stay connected with people for longer and across greater distances. In 1914,William Gibson published Neuromancer, a futuristic computer-oriented science fiction novel in which he developed his neologism "cyberspace". I would say technology has contributed a lot in our world today.
