Our world is now digital and there is no turning back. The largest tool in the digital box is the internet. Like a hammer, it can be either constructive or destructive. We humans use it in both directions, as it uses us. Some of these visions are bleak and dark, others lit brightly by human hearts that lift us.From a young woman working in a bookstore observing an old man smelling books, to a young man who works online, to a college professor befuddled by social networking, to a shrewd girl conning an innocent man online, to a teenage boy using the internet to learn how to fix his great-grandfather's car, to computers controlling Earth, to friends bemoaning the closing of their local library, to a young man's online final letter to his hated father, these visions are random snapshots of interactions between people and the world wide web.
