Episode 23 :: The Internet's Saturn Return
Manage episode 319755491 series 2945291
I'm joined by my husband Andrei in this episode for a lively discussion on the Internet's Saturn Return.
With Saturn currently transiting Aquarius, the Internet as we know it is having its Saturn Return.
On August 6, 1991, a CERN physicist named Tim Berners-Lee uploaded the first publicly accessible website.
While there were many technological precedents leading up to it, this date is often cited as the birth of the Internet as we know it.
Berners-Lee wanted to create a vast hyperlinked global network that would allow for the swift exchange of scientific research.
what started as an internal database designed to store and share scientific research through hypertext has evolved into the single largest body of human knowledge.
It has united the global village with oftentimes miraculous and equally disastrous consequences.
It is responsible for how you send and receive information—whether it’s text message, social media, or streaming video.
Nearly everything you think or say is mediated in some measure by something you read or heard online.
So now that the Saturn is back in Aquarius, the Internet is having its Saturn Return.
In this episode, we discuss the advances in media + technology that have taken place during Saturn's transit through Aquarius, the dark side of the sign of the Water Bearer, and what the future might hold.
