            scientists see the Internet as merely an early
            manifestation of what is to become what they describe
            as a collective consciousness, a neobiological
            civilization with a global mind – a godmind, or
            an unlocatable, omnipresent entity.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elon.edu/e-web/predictions/bookexcerpts.xhtml"><P><SPAN class="normal">If this is true and we wish to
