The etymology of Prometheus associates with fore thinking as in getting things done in a way one can get “around the world”, or in other words, bypassing experience. It parallels perfectly the intentions of the technology of the internet, its facilitations and remote services "at hand". Yet it leads to distance of "hand and heart", psychological numbing, "slacker"-ing, shallow kind of appropriation. The distance as in a bubble untouched by immediate urgency, allows the multiplicity of being to arise, as the rebel titan did but was condemned to perpetual suffering. The excesses it leads to have generated the martyrdom of confusion and loss of control systems of sole identity could keep away. The martyrdom of a staged rage of high contrasts, gain accompanied by a distress, as distribution entails the loss of authorship, hypertext existence the mutilation and appropriation of creations and, the loss of recognition.
