The web is A Place. A whole unknown universe with no boundaries or no physical places. An abstract area. That's a conclusion I have drawn after thinking about it for a while. If we think about it from a linguistic point of view, why would you otherwise use phrases such as "visit us at www..."? How can you visit a place that is not existing in real-life, only in the virtual universe? And what is the virtual universe anyway? It's not anything you can see or touch, it is something that exists and is invisibly surrounding us all. But still this Place has got adresses - you go to a certain website. So it's almost like a city but without any street maps for orientation.
As you may notice, I have had time to ponder on really unrelevant issues lately. I promise to come up with a more interesting topic next time. Until then, arrivederci virtuality!
