Independent Candidate for Strathfield Daniel Lim grabs attention with his references to modern culture. Strathfield Station, Sydney, August 2008.
Canon Literature is that which stands the test of time and becomes universal - essentially they shape the way you view the world. The typical examples of canon are of course Shakespeare, and at times Hemmingway and Austin. But how long does a media need to exist before it can enter canon - think of how the Simpsons shaped a generation, or certain internet videos like the "star wars kid" or the "you kick my dog".

Cheers, Adam! (for your comment on the entry: There are no Boundaries) Thanks for the links and info :-) Agree with you. The building blocks for civilisation have always been there. All we need is a great idea, which for me is an element of the divine.
All the tools we have to make great ideas happen are already found in nature, and within us. Everything is there. Our task is to discover it.
I think I might add right timing as a valuable ingredient. right ideas + timing + using the right tools, will produce greater impact.
I guess, I was just thinking what would a lonely stone age man do with an entire telegraphic network if he had no use for it. There is also a time for everything...Preparedness of civilisation is also key. :-)
