    A particularly forward thinking cyborg anthropologist, Amber Case, introduced the idea that humans are in the process of creating social worm holes. Our technology bends time and space to our whim so that we can communicate with anyone, anywhere on the planet… first with our telecommunication infrastructure, and now with the Internet.
