Edge
"To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each others the questions they are asking themselves".

Can the the World Wide Web be the room Edge has referred to?

"McLuhan had pointed out that by inventing electric technology, we had externalized our central nervous systems; that is, our minds. Cage went further to say that we now had to presume that 'there's only one mind, the one we all share.' Cage pointed out that we had to go beyond private and personal mind-sets and understand how radically things had changed. Mind had become socialized. 'We can't change our minds without changing the world,' he said. Mind as a man-made extension became our environment, which he characterized as 'the collective consciousness,' which we could tap into by creating 'a global utilities network.'"
by John Brockman, the connector in the Third Culture,
as quoted at www.edge.org
Edge quer dizer:
Para chegar na fronteira do conhecimento do mundo, procure as mentes mais complexas e sofisticadas, coloque-as em uma sala e faça-as perguntarem umas às outras as questões que fazem a si mesmas.
Já o Brockman disse:
MacLuhan disse que, com a tecnologia elétrica, externalizamos nosso sistema nervoso central; Cage foi além e disse que há apenas uma mente, a mente que todos nós compartilhamos. A mente se tornou socializada. "Não podemos mudar a mente sem mudarmos o mundo", disse Cage. A mente como uma extensão feita pelo homem se tornou nosso ambiente, que caracterizamos como a cnosciência coletiva, em que poderíamos agir com uma rede global de utilitários.
