USB 'Dead Drops'

Okian Warrior writes "Aram Bartholl is building a series of USB dead drops in New York City. Billed as 'an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space,' he has embedded USB sticks as file cache devices throughout the city. Bartholl says, 'I am "injecting" USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessible to anybody in public space. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your files and data.' Current locations (more to come) include: 87 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (Makerbot), Empire Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn, NY (Dumbo), 235 Bowery, NY (New Museum), Union Square, NY (Subway Station 14th St), and West 21st Street, NY (Eyebeam)"

I actually agree with this. We need to make those fuckers who know nearly nothing of the internet itself learn. Share, share and share some more is what I say. No matter what, given non-invasive measures. Some day, in a perfect utopia,*we* will rule the world -- that means that everyone will know what is right and do accordingly, thus, our ruling of the world will be the absence of the need to do so -- it would be a Perfect Anarchy.

Baby steps, dear Anarchy....
