"Illusions are Forever"

A perfect quote form the story is "When traditional signals of authority are so misleading, how can we know what's for real?" The quote turns the prospective around allowing for the reader to answer "truthfully". The entire story is based upon the word "truth". So, what is "personal truth"? Its defined as your own opinion of the matter, I think. It's hard to tell what Chiat's underlying meaning with his quote on technology. I believe he does mean that the Internet helps us in determining a personal truth. It allows us to decide on our own what we believe in and not what someone else wants us to believe in. I believe that people should accept their own personal truth rather than allowing those in power to influence it for them. By allowing those in power to influence your truth, a person's realm of ideas is influenced therefore taking away a true meaning to a person's own truth. My personal truth may be different than yours however, if unaffected by those in power both truths have a meaning to them that can not be disputed.
