I never took that phrase as humans making a desire statement, but as a physical inevitability of representing information as electrons. In the way that voltage 'wants' to jump a gap, information 'wants' to be free. EDIT, just because I don't get to share it very often, here's tom waits with some more examples of desire. The cradle wants a baby- Kitchen wants a pan - A heart wants a certain kind of lover if it can The ocean wants a sailor - The gun wants a hand - The money wants a spender and 'road wants a man The Devil wants a sinner - The sky wants a bird - The table wants the dinner and the Lips want a word The glass wants the wine - A fist wants to hurt - A clock wants the time and the shovel wants to work Coal wants a miner - Soldier takes a stand - The walls of the prison want a solitary man The window wants a curtain - The plow wants the land - Diamond ring wants to fit upon the finger of her hand
