...only 17% of adults in the survey said they use the Internet to gain access to politics. But digital democracy 2.0 is showing hints of just what politics will be like when most of America has faster hookups: town halls held in a hundred living rooms, where voters can interact with their representatives...
...truth is, Millennium won't be winning any prizes at Cannes. At this point in its development--it's also scheduled to ship by summer--it has no flash and little innovation. Where Aqua has rethought the way Mac users interact with applications--using something called a "dock" that behaves like the Windows task bar, only with intelligence and flair--Millennium looks almost identical to Windows 98.

I think that Paul did that on purpose, that it's an ensemble movie but the ensemble doesn't really interact. I think the point he might have been trying to make with that is that in life it's that way. All of us are operating on all these kind of independent little spheres, but really we're all connected...
