Kevin Kelly's six verbs, I think, are representative of a machine reality. "Screening, interacting, sharing, flowing, accessing, generating." Me, I'd rather see something more human. Finding, talking, sharing, playing, joining, creating. If, you know, I had to summarize all of human activity with six verbs. Which I don't. And as much as we need to resist mechanizing our image of ourselves, we have to also avoid trivializing it, and even more, we have to avoid over-theorizing it. While it is true that the unexamined life is not worth living, the unlived life is not worth examining.
