Greetings Economists,
Here is a good example of the supplanting of the 'religious' mind with  
automation that unites knowledge.

...He says his latest effort, to be announced Friday, will help develop  
a realm frequently described as the “semantic Web” — a set of services  
that will give rise to software agents that automate many functions now  
performed manually in front of a Web browser....

...That would make it possible for programmers and Web developers to  
write programs allowing Internet users to pose queries that might  
produce a simple, useful answer rather than a long list of documents.

Since it could offer an understanding of relationships like geographic  
location and occupational specialties, Freebase might be able to field  
a query about a child-friendly dentist within 10 miles of one’s home  
and yield a single result....

...“As wonderful as Google is, there is still much to do,” said Esther  
Dyson, a computer and Internet industry analyst and investor at  
EDventure, based in New York.

Most search engines are about algorithms and statistics without  
structure, while databases have been solely about structure until now,  
she said.

“In the middle there is something that represents things as they are,”  
she said. “Something that captures the relationships between  
things.”...

Doyle;
Or as I like to think captures the spirit of God in connecting things.   
When you open the net to find god in there somewhere, the computer  
spits up a face that helps you live till you die.
