IN THE PALM OF OUR HANDS

Is it so? Is the world in the palm of our hands?

For sure Internet made it a lot easier than ever: everything seems touchable, close. U can communicate, buy, share, comment, watch, chat…
We can explore every single little street of every country in the whole world. We can see it as a Map, as a Satellite’s image or as a real Street View.

We can search everything, everywhere and find it in a few seconds.
But…are we really controlling the world or not…

Isn’t the Internet itself controlling our habits, even the simplest ones?
Could we live without YouTube, Facebook, eBay or iTunes? Could we not anymore download or share files? Could we forget about Skype and videochattin’?
I’m pretty sure it would turn out harder than we could imagine. But is this wrong?

Maybe there’s not a right answer, but we can all assume the overcoming power of Internet in the media’s world. Now everything has its link to the web, its website, its channel on YouTube.
We’re all on Facebook, or Twenty or MySpace or similar. It seems there’s no privacy, we don’t anymore communicate as well as before.

How many of us knew their partners on Internet?
We watch TV’s Shows and Movies on Internet; we watch and listen to music on Internet as well. We buy everything, even food on Internet.

Aren’t we changing a little too much?
The world looks always more like MATRIX while the Earth’s headed to an auto-destruction. The LiveEarth didn’t work out so well. There are no positive results so far.

Music and artists tried to say something, and as a paradox Internet helped as well!
What’s wrong whit us people? Don’t we ever learn to make good use of what we have?

Let’s remember it sometimes, even in a simple Blog as mine.
LoX.
