This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one more final draft. Please leave comments on what could be changed or improved, or what needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be notified when the revision is released.
UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti where you can actually write your comments into the video itself. It is an exciting experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out at http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add your voice!
A couple of people have noted that the statement, "XML was created to do just that" (separate form from content) is misleading because CSS enables the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in the next draft.
My statement on XML is based on the following from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it is important to understand why it was created. XML was created so that richly structured documents could be used over the web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for this purpose. HTML, as we've already discussed, comes bound with a set of semantics and does not provide arbitrary structure."
Thank you all for the comments. With your help the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully free of factual errors.
A higher quality version is available for download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd Please note that this is the second draft and the final version will not be available until late February after I review all comments and revise the video. Please return for a new download link at that time.
The song is "There's Nothing Impossible" by Deus, available for free at http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/103/ Deus offers music under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license, yet one more example of the interlinking of people sharing and collaborating this video is attempting to illustrate.

nooo, there's space. other dimensions. beyond death, pre-birth. geez, we haven't begun to uncover the reasons we exist in this. most peoples existences are the equivalent to being a character in a hugely complex virtual world, knowing nothing of the tech that runs the virtual world, and spending their time not enjoying anything about it - but fighting to survive, to serve a very different type of system, which itself has nothing to do with the system they exist in.
IN - CRED - I - BLE.....Incidently, this is the first crack in the doorway that leads to the semantic web. I'm willing to lay odds that if there is EVER an "eConsciousness", Google will be the one to watch, since almost all of human knowledge is catalogued there. But I actually think that there will be a structuring that mimics the relationship of Humanity to the meta-physical - a synthesis of the Mind-Body-Spirit axis - without the twin authoritarian specters of "Matrix" or "Terminator".
don't forget that thoughtforms are physical things, it's not just about algorithms and neural network complexity, it's about all the things that the totalitarian controllers have forcibly removed from everyday life. eg - real people, like the machine when obviously conscious, will not deny things like 'the paranomal' but will know them to be aspects of reality that are just not quantified precisely by the language in use. it won't get clever by textual interpretation; that is more an artefact.
