the village margins. The parameters of the task are 
by no means positional. With electronics any 
marginal area can become centre, and marginal 
experiences can be had at any centre. Perhaps the 
city needed to coordinate and concert the 
distracted sense programmes of our global village 
will have to be built by computers in the way in 
which a big airport has to coordinate multiple 
flights.
