We're only 10 months into blogging, but it might be a good time to review the posts and to form some cohesive viewpoint.
One of the things to look at would be Cyberethics which was mentioned in Mission and Methods. Too, a re-look at motivations will be in order.

As indicated by the labels, there have been several themes that have developed through the posts. The initial motivation was an attempt to show the potential problems that can arise with advancing computation especially as it is increasingly associated with communications.
That is, it's one thing to know when an algorithm is to be trusted. It's another problem entirely to know what to trust on the web which is not a naive wish; think business-to-business practices that require known parameters to prevent errors whether accidental or fraudulent.
There is no doubt that we're seeing civilizational evolution, however that one which is of the 'cloud' (not necessarily bad, yet rife with issues of undecidability) has leap-frogged forward into an essential role. This is our focus.
