Oh, the impermanence!

Here today, gone tomorrow. When man takes complete control of a landscape, such as the internet, the alterations of that landscape occur at a speed congruent with the speed of mankind's interaction with its environment. Thus, the click of a button can vastly alter the topography of the world. 

It's not so different from mankind's other interactions with the universe, such as the tearing down of buildings and the creation of new ones, but the speed at which such alterations occur in a virtual environment is fascinating. 

This sort of thing really makes me want to host my own site, so as not to be at the mercy of the whims of Google.
