Thanks to the Internet, we have video at our fingertips. Yet rather than correct the record, the video perpetuated the delusion. The tidal wave of innovation that has swept out from Silicon Valley, transforming the way we communicate, read, shop, and travel, has carried along with it an epic shit-ton of digital flotsam.

This is the story of year-old Preston and his mother, Ana.
Getting married or emigrating to a new country, say. But you can always get divorced, and you can almost always move back. Taylor is weighing a life decision from which there would be no turning back. It's not just because they represent unsolicited intrusions of nonsense into our glassy corporate memoranda. It goes beyond that How does such a thing get started? What determines how far it goes? I wanted to know. Maybe I thought it would help me understand the rise of all the seemingly trivial, evanescent things that start in San Francisco and then go supernova across the country—the kinds of products I am usually late to discover and slow to figure out.
Certainly nothing too impressive. But what I found was more surprising and sublime than I could have possibly imagined. The zooming hydrogen atoms, in a state of extreme kinetic excitement, will slam into one another, fusing to form a new element—helium—and with each atomic coupling explosive energy will be released: intense heat, gamma rays, X rays, a torrential flux of fast-moving neutrons propelled in every direction.
