and we all know
that the language of money is all numbers.
Furthermore, numbers are no longer solely the language
of money; they are the language of the Internet as well. Every
Word document is transformed with a click into a web-ready document
composed of bits and bytes for which we can measure the hits, the
average age of our ‘site visitor’, and the dollar amount
they spend in e-commerce a year – all in numbers, of course.
In our cyber-age, names, thoughts and even feelings, are becoming
more orderly, ‘sortable’, something a college student
can write an algorithm to search through. URLs might be word names,
but we all know that they are also Internet addresses, understood
by our servers and computers as binary code formed by the minimalist
language of 0s and 1s.
Weather this numbers-for-names phenomenon
signifies the ascent of dollar, a new cyber-age, or just another
silly city trend, I cannot say for sure. But I do think I should’ve
considered entitling this essay 750 words!
