All except one, maybe. The Internet. Like it or not, the Internet is the only mass information media exchange which is not pre-conditioned, pre-packaged, editorialized or screened. It is totally accessible. It is free expression. But it is also very random, and equally disorganized. It isn't necessarily controlled and prepared for your instant consumption, either. It may also carry its own inaccuracies. Many don't like or are afraid of Cyberspace for that very same reason. Nevertheless, it is a spontaneous interactive dialogue, untreated, a forum that more truly reflects public interest. On the other hand, it is not pristine. It allows frank, sometimes too frank, public expression which can be analyzed all the way down to the grass roots of mankind.    We are embarking on an age of profound understanding of the genetic impact on our lives. Since the 60's and 70's new professions are emerging. Enter the professional geneticist, the medical genealogist and others. The need to bring the past closer is becoming abundantly clear, and most urgent. There are over 100,000 sites on the Internet dealing with this kind of survival in one form or another.    The search for identity and survival claims a mega interest on the spawning Internet. Not surprisingly, then, emerging in this incessant chatter of exchange is a hitherto dormant but now wildfire, explosion of interest in our personal past, our ancestors, our own personal drive engines, and our genetic profiles. This is a subject which gets very little attention in the conventional media, mostly because nobody seems to know where it's going and how it's going to get there.  On the Internet, there are many thousands of genealogical societies of all nationalities, millions of individuals in a world wide quest for their past, family or clan association, or just straight communi-cavorting with their own kind. Their uninhibited driving force is variable and personal. Some are merely curious bystanders, some hobbyists, and some desperate pathologists. But, deep down, they're each searching for all those elusive but common ancestors who had a hand in their unique profile.
