This may be the right time for me to pop in with this maybe-already-covered question:
How do I start a career as a copy-editor? Should I apply to an alt-weekly, or can I go from college student to real-newspaper-copy-editor in one step?
Good example of examining systems as more fluid, as parts of larger systems. David Weinberger (here: http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/) wrote "Small Pieces Loosely Joined," an internet manifesto that at times seems so grand as to be pointless (think Deconstructionism).
But he describes the internet as a system of flexible protocols for the Real Stuff -- human communication.
He also describes it as, well, "small pieces loosely joined," noting that the internet has places without spaces -- the "walk" from my site to yours to eBay is as long or short as the links, so there's no sense of fixed geography, yet we use spatial metaphors when discussing the internet: "I went to the site," "visit a page," etc. We view sites as places without spaces.
What are the implications?
