What word/phrase would be more apt, in your opinion? Marshall McLuhan wrote about this phenomenon back in the 60's >Men are suddenly nomadic gatherers of knowledge, nomadic as never before, informed as never before, free from fragmentary specialism as never before - but also involved in the total social process as never before, since with electricity we extend our central nervous system globally, instantly, interrelating every human experience. -Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media (1964)
