Other people have been thinking about this too apparently, but inversely. Currently, I'm reading through a PDF called 'The Social Life of Routers: Applying Knowledge of Human Networks to the Design of Computer Networks': http://orgnet.com/SocialLifeOfRouters.pdf

Funny you say that. I actually got the meme from Terrence McKenna's video 'Culture
is Your Operating System: http://www.memeshift.com/2008/01/05/culture-is-.... I think the idea of bringing it back to a 'community' as opposed to the generic 'culture' is that it humanizes it a bit and brings it 'closer' to a network of friends, allies, confidants, and colleagues – it's not as nebulous (or spacey as McKenna's vision;).

I've been trying to discover the ultimate brain/consciousness/technology parallel too. Would “culture” in place of community, or is there something specific about a community that makes it a better fit?
