Hyperconnected.


Recently I saw the movie “social network”. An excellent film. The movie shows the life of Mark Zuckerberg, a nerd who decides to create a computer game where people categorizes women and then he created the world-famous web page "facebook.". The film shows Mark like a person corrupted by power and money. A friend of him in an Internet column defended him. He said that Mark has the same girlfriend and the same friends and he created Facebook in order to shape a networked and redefine social relations. As napster redefined the way of we listen music.

It is strange how technology is defining us as people. But the technology only defines us as people linked together to work best. The utopia of technology make us happier is obviously obsolete. 50 years ago we lived with no problem without cell phones, now it is imperative that not only have a cell, but also a computer, Internet, or those things.

Rockefeller, Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg (to name a few) have redefined how we inter-related and have created a new way of we think our reality. They now control how we communicate and unfortunately not be included in "their" way of communication is to be obsoleted. I have no facebook and obviously I missed many parties, news, new bands or other events. The problem is that this way of interfacing becomes an ideology that is naturalized in life. Thus to create a facebook account I am allowing the CIA has access to all the information I'm giving away. When I buy a computer I am supporting an economic that become more slaves to the poorest countries. That is to say I'm talking a language that involves power and business.

In conclusion. Unfortunately if you do not join to this new social networks obviously you're out of the new "society." And if you do, you're supporting a company that enhances the social gaps. As the song of molotov. "If you give more power to the power, the harder they will come to fuck you". Now the power is not economic but of information. And we do row every day to give free information about who we are, who are ours friends and what we like. We are Inviting the Big Brother to keep us company.
