It had become a different world yet again.
Previous constructs of togetherness and separateness had been renegotiated.
Neighbors need not be neighbors since proximity itself was to be addressed
in terms of coincidence – something it
had always been anyway, just on a different scale.

As had happened before, space and time shed and morphed into familiar yet distinctly unproven spirits; constructs of a mind that is part of a larger community; humanity.

In a not too distant reality that places increasingly less stock in material wealth - the attendant issues of security, maintenance, and familial obligation having become too burdensome to bother with - a mobile, discrete, and almost anonymous aesthetic is under continuous development -- not exclusively functional, not exclusively disposable, not exclusively for any individual.

The wealth of the individual resides in the cloud of an electronic ether.
