The great Groucho Marx said: "Stop the world, I want to go down." Well, it's true that we can "download" the world at any time, either voluntarily or because it was the turn, but not so the world will stop. The truth is that the world dances to a increasingly frenetic pace. Never in history had been so many changes in so little time. The scientific development made in recent decades, such momentum that is very difficult to know where we stand and where we're going to. Understand this was never easy for any generation, so "every present" coupled with the analysis, fifty years later. I think we should try to stop a little dance to the rhythm that the orchestra, we can do to stop the world to analyze it carefully, but at least we can run each of both the dance floor and watch from the sidelines to see what new developments are today to shape our tomorrow. What are the discussions that we have today so that tomorrow we are not unpleasantly surprised? I think one of the central discussions that cries to be faced is precisely the boundary between public and private. That border is now increasingly nebulous, however is the basis of individual liberties.
Here are some examples. A company whose development is really to admire is Google. Still, every so often gives me chills. All searches are stored in their databases, which of course helps to improve the service. In addition, the company keeps data up to 2030 (according to the company), the ability to identify the rider and today is remarkable. It is expected to increase, not decrease ... On the other hand Google labs are full of amazing experiments, and the company continually buying smaller companies that have developments in related areas. For example the company Keyhole. About 2 weeks ago announced the new service renamed Google Earth, where satellite images of different points the world are now available to the public. We take you to wherever you want. Just do the following: http://maps.google.com once there type the name of the city, shows you a map, so far nothing extraordinary, but then squeeze Satelitte and that you want to see, you can always increase the scale. Not every planet is available in detail, but every day incorporate more data. Well, but what I complain? The truth is that I've stuck a few trips barbarians! Again, I love to explore cities, use this resource daily, but I can not help wondering what going to do with security? Let
another example: digital life every day. On July 3, The Nation magazine published "The Digital Age", which mentions that worldwide 1.3 billion people communicate on cell phones. The cell phone is certainly changing the way we live. At first it was a status symbol and now, although there are super sophisticated and expensive equipment, its use was extended at the other end of the market. Who for different reasons can not have a landline, have easy access to a cell phone. In many places there are more mobile than fixed lines. The phones come with many features that, if we look carefully advertising last year, we see that companies took to make public "education." We had to tell stories in different situations where you could see that exemplified the use of both accessory, camera included. There is a noticeable difference between having a digital camera and have a camera phone. As the camera does not take her all the time in the pocket, cell phone itself. Where is the line between public and private here? The duo cell phone-digital camera built in, greatly enhances the image, but also gets complaints in private. But this does not stop there, we should also add the mblogs. Blogs are used at the beginning as a personal diary, are very popular among writers and professional journalists and amateurs. Today we have become a powerful means of expression and constitute real communities around them, then bind each other. A variation is the mblos, "m" is mobile, or blogs that can be accessed from a cell phone. In short, a person is in the street presence of something that catches your eye, take photos and, at the same time up to the mblog. Again, from the street and go to Internet documents you want. Point.
"Privacy? "In a society in which all carry a camera above and can send photos instantly to where we please? And Beyond the debate over privacy ... Does he deserve the right to privacy a person with a distinctly anti-social behavior? Where do you set the limits?
I think that can mean so dangerous is that the purpose of a Panopticon is that a minority (political power) control a majority, as the opposite: you use a majority (or an active fraction in it) for encourage conformity and minority thought off. So dangerous are the chambers of the wall pocket cameras.
I hope that the Global Village Marshall McLuhan speaking and at 60 we do not appear so oppressive, inquisitorial faceless enmierdadora of other and therefore conformist, but I fear that if you wanted to forget it if we had warned him, as a side effect that "in the electric age we bring to all mankind as our skin": "And as our senses have gone outside us, Big Brother has come. Therefore, unless we are aware of this dynamic, immediately go into a period of terror and panic, which corresponds exactly with a small world of tribal drums, total interdependence, coexistence superimposed [...] on Terror is the normal state of any oral society, because it affects everything all the time [...] In our long effort to recover for the Western world a unit of sensation, thinking and feeling, we have not better prepared to accept the consequences of the tribal unit that we were prepared to take the fragmentation of human psychology because the print culture. "(note: McLuhan studied the effects scavengers of the press in the West, among which includes the development of nations. Now there is some way the opposite way).
the moment "we are aware of that dynamic," though their signals are still small. And the thread This, I think the debate about privacy is important. There's already seen but the one who observes and comments. It is proven that the bigger the crew and more anonymity there, more and more cruel are the lynchings. Internet is so big and anonymous. As for the observed, withdrawing encourages conformity.
When the image of someone is made public, no longer a person has no feelings, only his image. Our image is not ours, others will see and may form the opinion they want about us. That happens every time we walk down the street and others are watching. Try to influence something about the impression that we in the other, seen the best we can in order to push up the value of our image and be admired, or to go unnoticed. But the others always have the last word on our image, not ours. The privacy advocates sometimes seem to miss a hermit life, wanted to take over something that was never in control of human beings: the image itself. In this century, and in any, we must accept that other eyes are upon us, whether organic or electronic eyes. Learning to live under the eternal gaze of the other.
