More than half of the GNP of this new race will be produced within the information industry - an industry which the homo sapiens might discard as not being important, since we do not eat its products, live in them, wear them, nor are we transported by them.

Nevertheless, as the global net becomes the common living space of the homo informaticus (as the homo sapiens has the planet Earth, or rather as the bee family has the beehive), it turns out that this sector of industry *is* essential to the homo informaticus. In the global net every homo informaticus will have his/her informational home. Its living pictures are today s e-mail addresses and home pages. My homepage is my castle. This is the foundation for the fulfillment of the homo informaticus hunger for information.

The satiation of this psychological need might be essential for the preservation of biological life (the homo sapiens may suffer serious injuries in the case of a long sensory deprivation). If the homo informaticus does not access enough information, his/her highly advanced perception schemata is unsatiated and in an extreme case dies of information starvation.
