MSN, Skype, Facebook, Badoo, irc, blog, video, web albums and so on and so forth. In every moment of the day I can let everyone know what I think, what I do and where they are. It will not be a bit 'over the top? It all started with the phone, could be tracked anywhere, even in the bathroom. The escape route is off. But all in all it still maintains the taste of the old phone that Meucci's been with us for over 100 years, even if they miss the wires, but it's a detail that is indifferent to most. And then we can lie and say that we are at home on the couch even though we are on a Caribbean beach, or turn it off and not find us or if we should change the number of cut with the past! Then it was the turn of the mass distribution of computers, the connection "always on", chat, forums, and now social networking. I remember a Sunday afternoon of a winter than a year of my childhood that I do not know the timing, when my father drew up a cable from the phone in the entrance to the study and he tried not know what (a modem?) To connect our mac with a mac in the adjacent building. I think it was 1990, I think the monitor was already in color but I was still a child and jumping around this cable with my father shouted to me to be careful inciamparci.Chi have not said then that it was a sign of destiny?
Now we are flooded with applications that want us to share with the world even our most private moments, playing with exhibitionism and the prevailing desire for leadership.
While I like to publish my photos and show them to friends, though I like to write long rambling thoughts on my blog, though I like to find lost friends on facebook and make me a bit 'about their business, if I like to use msn to communicate quickly, if I like Skype to make phone calls across the world by spending a few cents is not so sure that I like to be so flooded with these applications, almost attacked, I think. I do not think that I like that everyone knows where I was and what I'm doing this afternoon andesso, or that someone knows the thread and mark the sites I visited 3 weeks ago. It 's true, just turn off the PC and the phone. But we know that is like a drug. By now, even if I go away for a weekend I connect the phone to read mail or do a trip on skype. And if I go on vacation for a week? The first days are confused, then I get accustomed to life "analog" and I must be honest, is not bad!
We believe that technology makes us more free, but it is probably an illusion.
But I should not be me to say, more or less because I live on these things!
