I’m sure you’ve noticed how programs and web pages take longer to load. Open up slop office or arsebook or spewtube and get a white page with the shadow of content while—you presume—the actual information is being looked up from somewhere. Give us some credit; we already know who you are and your information is at hand. That spinner is for the transfer in the other direction. We upload ten seconds of your life, wash it clean, filter out the lumps and store it in the tanks at the CEO’s New Zealand bolthole. When the world burns, be comforted that a little part of your soul will live on within his greatness.
