"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.
