The Webs Secret Stories

Jonathan Harris's lecture "The Web Secret Stories" is undoubtedly thought provoking. He's concepts and ideas are genius, using the internet as a avenue to engulf "Human Expression". I don't feel think some of his statements were exactly fair especially those pertaining to the " We feel fine" project as a whole. In order for the "Whole World" to be included in that statement the languages his project is being translated into definitely needs to be greater than 10 of the most used languages in the world. In order for him to make this claim there needs to be exactly what he said more than once during his lecture " how the world is feeling " that really cant be validated otherwise.
The concept and the project that Harris has created thus far is totally amazing. The concept of taking all emotions, how people are thinking at that given moment, including other aspects such as religion, education, sex, weather etc... providing we as a people the access to explore and share in others thoughts throughout much of the world. I feel that Harris has truly just begin to explore the tip of the iceberg, his intelligence, his motivation, and the many new ideas he wants to add to his project will surely impact the way we view other people in the world, in many ways we maybe have never thought about until now.

Tracie,
I think Jonathan Harris will certainly provoke thought among people throughout the world when they see themselves as a huge group of people with so many differences, yet with so many of the same feelings.
