I wouldn't go so far as to say (as the writer of this essay wonders) that living in the moment caused our current economic problems, but this is an interesting point of view on how over-focus on "now" may not always be such a good thing.

This is a very interesting article, Linda, particularly in conjunction with your living-in-the-moment perspective, although I think the two are quite different, at least in intent. But I think the stream metaphor is a valuable way to think about web content. Sergio always tells me that three months is like a year on the internet. I am curious about how this stream has changed something so fundamental as our notion of time.
