Are some of us already on our way to becoming a hive mind?

As of yet, the internet does not dictate our actions, though it may influence them to varying degrees. It is a vast and evergrowing repository of information, however, as well as an incredible communication tool for individuals and groups. Maybe someday, we will be able to tap into the ‘net on a more personal level as a part of a great machine/organism, aware of, yet also a component of, a new gestalt of humanity.
