What Beads Fit On Troll Bracelts

respective netwaste - Part II

"Amici, it's time to renovate the premises and we are selling off all our silent electric Ubik unbeatable prices! Yes, we have thrown away the price list! And remember: every Ubik in our supply has been used following the instructions. "

I had promised myself to do it, and I did.
A little more than a year away from my previous post on the case, here I am talking about social networks.
The trial has largely given way to experience consolidation, the routine, the familiarity of the object of my study dispassionate and carefree, and all this through experience for more than one year e all'osservazione degli effetti collaterali e non sulle persone e l'ambiente.

Innanzitutto, mi ritrovo a confermare, non del tutto drasticamente ma in maniera scontata, tutte le obiezioni che sollevai all'epoca. Facebook non è migliorato sotto tutti quei punti di vista che esaminai in quel post, che troverete qui .
Detto questo, passiamo alle mere considerazioni del caso. Facebook si è dimostrato un potente catalizzatore di casual-surfer, ovvero quella categoria che secondo me sta diventando lentamente la base dell'utenza di internet, come lo diventò e lo è tutt'ora, riguardo ogni nuovo media. Il casual-surfer si distingue per una mal celata ignoranza verso ogni tipo of knowledge related to the Internet, about its functions, its potential, its use for non-frivolous or malicious. This wide catchment area has been poured out on Facebook as a river, flooding the network on a massive scale. Often those who use this service will not even have the basic knowledge of computers, and can not distinguish between a program off-line and an on-line - sometimes can not even use the commands "copy" and "paste", and has not the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bwhat a folder.
then Facebook is a "sea monster", where this type of user grows like seaweed clinging to everything, often using opposites learning process: learning to share a YouTube video, for example, before we know what is really the same Youtube. And so on.
No one can say whether this is a good or bad, but statistically and historically, we can only remember the past and to learn from teaching. Users "casual", the great mass, is used to make up the numbers and the numbers shake things up in a world where they count, and count a lot, and among the many disadvantages of it, or flooding unnecessary services, the bombardment of misleading information profit on virtually everything, savage and ruthless marketing, there are also many advantages, as always.
Facebook is only the last placeholder in chronological order on the path of powerful advanced Internet the new media that has upset the way people communicate and use the information, services and human art. It 's just another form of Ubik, which perhaps will not be subject to something else within two years, as I said a year ago, but it certainly will, in the modern relationship between people and the media product, the same length of life expressed a desire on the night of San Lorenzo.

Another thing to note is to be associated with the points highlighted above, one in particular, that of profit. Endless proliferation of games on Facebook, of dubious utility, which do not teach anything, that have no real concept behind it, no history, charm, art video games, and historical background. That is, pasture for casual surfer.
These toys have the effect of hard drugs on who uses them daily, enough to push gambling to insert a new item to the symptoms related to internet addiction. I often record acts of apparent dependence, such as switching the PC to check how things are going in the gaming applications facebookiane before any other thing in the morning.
The exquisite nature of the strategic infinite, like Civilization II fused to a soap-opera trails, a nightmare for everyone play-media, a panacea for the casual surfer, requires endless gaming sessions, countless connections during the day, the constant pay attention.
The consequence is the rise of advertising, the inclusion of expensive options for payment and, as in a Moebius strip, the constant multiplication of possibilities in the game and "level" that will never end, to determine the ' physical impossibility of ending the cycle.

The privacy issue seems to have improved after the recent introduction of new approaches have been tried with success and the amazing simplicity of the bottom: it is often healthier than some of our "friends", maybe you added one more for duty than Please do not read the new status does not see a new picture, does not realize what we're doing right now with instant notifications.
Unfortunately, it is always hard for anyone not understand exactly where we are, we are doing and with whom, through the many clues that spreads like Facebook mollichine of bread for our pages.
Some people abusing this possibility, even invading their fields that do not compete, operating outside the boundaries of where they have no authority.

final consideration is exquisitely linked to good taste and common sense of the casual surfer or not.
By combining powerful digital photography cheap and instant creation of online photo albums, Facebook gives us the pearls of daily life that maybe we wanted to leave the ocean floor, tightly sealed in leathery shells.
It often happens that they are given away for posterity fed images of youth burned mainly related to colossal hangovers which are then reported as the great leap for mankind on the day after. Or, sad images related to the people whose sides we would like to remain hidden even those forever.
Unfortunately, the limit is always an attractive border, and we often come across people who just can not help but let us know everything about their lives, including massively negative parts.
But perhaps, on reflection, this is a moment of yet more welcome notification which tells us that Tom has finally discovered what his lucky color, which rightly or Caio now knows that the day of his birth has given him a brilliant personality, or Harry, finally, yet another can finally open his fortune cookie Chinese virtual revelations from more garish and out of place of real ones.
All this to say nothing of the subject groups and fandom, already discussed in the previous post.
Fortunately, somewhere, someone posted - but well hidden, of course - an option to limit the cazzimma , as they say the Naples, perpetrated by molestissime entangles-user applications, which are creeping into your profile as the cholera vibrio, and if you can make even more damage.

A curious element is not expected to finally add my personal "pulled from money." The recent explosion of amazing nonsense about internet and social networks experienced in Italy has once again raised the question of freedom, and the perception of reality in a world drowning in information control operated by the few over the many.
discover that you do not have a real majority of statistical consensus thanks to the numbers reported by the Internet, rather than conceited and frivoleggiante sondaggioni handled by the free choice of the statistical average, is like falling from the sky on the bottom.
Who would have thought that small groups with almost no real purpose of Facebook have even moved the senior factors to worry about censoring the last stronghold of free opinion?

then use Ubik, Ubik is everything.
Like it or not, social networking, especially catalyzed by Facebook, has anything changed, and allowed to change anything, the Internet, to be even more effective. No matter if its real usefulness is questionable as a bottle of sparkling mineral water in the hands of a sub thirsty at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the impact has been, and now we're absorbing the blow, in some way. Insulate yourself from all this would to deny the progress, taking root in a Masonic denial of reality - even if sometimes it seems the right thing and sensatissima.
Especially when you discover that this post was linked on Facebook.

Can You Get Shingles On Ankles?

Who watches the Watchmen?


Italy woke up this morning and discovered that there internet. Until now it was just a new way of doing things, to pay the bills, to make friends, to find his girlfriend sometimes, to publish their ideas in online shops to buy, to play online.
Now it's suddenly become a powerful social glue that can join a network of ideological isolated pockets of people who feel the same way, and often found in minority, but which can now interact synergistically in an exchange of views and ideas. It is the strength of social networks, forums, blogs, online publications, free of editorial and market logics, unencumbered by obligations and patronage, far from the forces of control.
Internet was an outlet for those who could not explain the slow slide of our country, that an old acquaintance has called "a little strange" in a grip of illiberalism, the suffocating narrow gradually decreased the areas of freedom granted by our democratic constitution. And now, the power contained in the network is exploding, but slowly, reflecting who was controlled by manipulation of the media that our country is undergoing a long time. On the Internet, run the video without controls, the news is not sweetened, it is often a direct exchange, from producer to consumer. On the Internet, many people have changed my mind with little, simply because in the end very little truth to demolish castles and castles of lies.
So now the Internet is public enemy number one.
The gesture of wanting to restrict the freedom on the Internet is assumed as puerile, many have tried, others have failed. In China, fake-communist regime where freedom is a rare commodity as a dragon's whisker, they succeeded. Perhaps Italy will dictate a new standard, or maybe someone will wake up just in time, as is happening already in Parliament - by "decree" the proposed Maroni now has become a "draft law", and maybe tomorrow will be a "we were just kidding. The Left always magnifies everything. "
In the meantime, I would like to contribute as a free citizen of the duty to denounce those who, publicly, he tries to attack state offices, organized riots, inciting violence, and committing two of the offenses cited by Maroni and around which all revolves around the accusation is based on which the proposed censure web: incitement to the crime, condoning the crime:

"We will go down, we will not stop half-way, whatever the cost. The tax revolt and protest are part of the liberation struggle in place because the North has boxes full of a delinquent State. "

"Before the robbery delinquent who takes away the freedom of summer, we know how to react and get the target. The protest is not tax the end of the world but a part of the fight for freedom. "

" If Lombardia closes the valves Italy died in five days because they live with the money of Lombardy. The Lombards have never pulled out their guns to do it but there is always the first time. "

These are words of the Minister for Reforms, Hon. Umberto Bossi, a member of the Northern League party, the current ruling coalition together with the right People of Freedom.
Reality is a non-linear dimension, where a straight line can take an infinite number of directions, and generate infinite branching, infinite choices. Such a breadth of possibilities, so imposing a mass of information can be manipulated without an effort defined as excessive. The trajectory of one of those straight lines can be altered by the millions, with no one able to determine what had been previously.
I decided to overlook all the other statements made by the distinguished members of the party which is fiercely Maroni also writing because I give away an easy win on points. A charge of the State, publicly says what is written above, in my opinion cause more damage to the established order than it can make a social network.
The real motive of the attack to the Prime Minister is not to be found behind the coalition of ideas and movements that are its resignation, but a person with mental illness, who played with a wave of violence that is probably the underlying motivation that pushes everyone to react as we can: fatigue.
La Russa's words when he says that he had never seen an event like the No B day before, I am surprised. I'm surprised this opposite approach, where rather than understand that it is lost for the people, now the Italians are tired of altars, scandals, jokes unhappy, postponed processes, excess of ego, and especially the absence changes in the decline of which are suffering, we continue to deny, deny, deny always. As if the emperor naked, inveisse against the child who has rightly revealed nakedness.
not undressed, but surrounded by an invisible fabric.
The vision is dramatic, as the man attacked, that before being wounded launched words of hatred to young people who are reacting in the only way they know, challenging who does not give them a voice, who does not give them a debate, those who do not answers to their questions, but only to those journalists coated vintage men in the late evening broadcasts on the public network, whose aim is to mislead the perception of the direction of those straight lines mentioned above.
is a dramatic vision, yes, the hatred that comes back a few moments later, an elderly man disfigured and bloodied in the crowd, impressed by the weight of its own shares, falling down ' high as a sole opinion, as if the Sword of Damocles has finally succumbed to his courageous fight against gravity.
dramatic as the loss of freedom of conscience.

Freedom is a strange animal, which can be heard when there is little, and you do not want too much when there. The freedom fighters is frightening when you are going to nail down and put on a leash, because you can clearly hear all do the same questions: who decides what is freedom and what is illegal? Those who choose for us?
Who will look at who is watching us?
