Little by little, the world is getting wired. Despite some big bare spots in middle Africa, Mongolia and the real Siberia (as opposed to the Cyberia Cafe), PCs and their attendant modems are knitting together the global village just as Marshall McLuhan predicted.

After dawn, people in the street composed themselves and began to rescue those trapped under the crushed houses without considering their own lost property. My son started digging through the rubble with bare hands to help rescue a friend under a crushed apartment building. We accepted the reality. I was impressed by people's will to live and their ability to help one another in the crisis. Masaaki Otani Hyogo, Japan
