Cyberspace and Creative Writing

Technology has been a great boon in reference
to 'Connecting the World' in a way that had not been
seen before. The speedy delivery of messages and information
has had a broad effect on the world, ...that part of the world
that is wired up to the advanced spark of electricity anyway.

I use it myself for writing of texts and documents, which up until
2 years ago I accomplished in the physical world of pad and pen or
manual typewriter.

With each passing day we rely on this source of media more and more.
We boast about the ability to store vast amounts of data in small
spaces and transfer great novels, medical and philosophy essays, and the
like into this new format.

And at the same time we spout off about the depletion of the natural resources
that are needed to support this very system we've grown to rely on.

While all the great and valuable documents of the world are being loaded into
the tools of the techno-industry, for safe keeping, all it would take to lose
it all, would be for someone to pull the plug.

So if you have anything of real importance, it should be backed up in a physical form
and place in a box or file and stored.
Which, ... when put into perspective, ...cuts the value of this techno-advancement
down to communication and research. Unless we find someway to keep the source of energy needed to keep the techno-world going

Although bulky, and sometimes messy, ....
Books and paper can be a wonderful things when you think about it.
