Hello,

This may seem obvious, but there seems to be a strong
correlation between the Internet, and the city:

How many hosts, nodes, or services can you connect to on the net?
How many places can you drive to via the Highway?

In his book _The Cuckoo's Egg_, Cliff Stoll observes that the organized
process of logging into host after host-using system and default passwords-
is almost the same as testing every front door in a given neighborhood.
If the door is locked, try the back door, if that door is locked, try all
the windows. Get the picture?

The correlations are obviously numerous (i.e., e-mail and IP addresses).

Good luck
