System Boundaries of the Internet (2 hours).

The system boundaries of the internet relate to the system boundaries of the human mind - reflecting like a parallel universe, says Garry Baverstock.

A historical journey from ancient times to the modern era traces how spatial perception, mental constructs created by society, and technical break through's changed the way we communicate.

The barriers created by the evolution of the Western mind were only defeated when strong minded individuals chose, by curiosity, to break through conventional thinking to reveal the truths beyond. Often these truths or new discoveries had a profound effect on the way we perceive the world and beyond, and also ourselves in relation to these realms.

The Eastern mind, being more inward looking, tended to effect human consciousness in the opposite direction. A combination of the two dispositions of self has lead to a solid perception of what reality might be.

Correlations of dysfunctional aberrations in some personalities who display the ineffective or negative aspects of the internet helps us understand how the internet itself is destined to evolve. The internet has the power to create a sense of self within our global community.

The diagrammatic representations presented by Garry are bound to challenge the conventional mind and provoke a different way of looking at, and thinking about the internet.

The internet guru's, psychologists, psychiatrists, historians and ordinary people should find the talk very provoking.
