Why Open Social Networks like facebook and
twitter are a big EVIL!
We all have seen the boom in the social networking in the last
years.
Friend's (find a person to fuck networks) like
facebook has
been booming for already 5+ years, professional business networks
like
Linkedin and
xing are becoming an absolute
requirement for everybody that has to be a player in the business
realm.
Moving forward the list is endless
orkut ,
my opera ,
twitter ,
flickr you name it ..
What is the big lie about social networks? The Social word.
There is anything else but social in this networks.
You make an account join a network and start exploring a dead
binary data in form of picture music, irc chat, or play games alone
or with others. The amount of time you spend in front of a computer
screen an ipod, iphone, ipad or
IFUCK! gradually
increases.
People are starting to become an electronic zoombies, live
interactions like a simple game of football outside, chess
tournament a simple coffee or tea with friends is starting to
become an extraordinary thing.
People share more and more, it's important to share the best of you
it's important to create a false image of yourself in let's say
facebook , it's generally important for most people to look
good on their uploaded pics to smile and share everything they do
in real life.
In practice if you have signed up in any social network and do
actively post your information you're building an online very
thorough dossier (record) of everything you do.
Your online record that large computer software and manifacturers
like Microsoft and Google does most probably already own a
tremendous record of who you're what you do, why you do it and how
you do it!
What makes it even worse it's voluntary you're transperant, you
share your thoughts you create new identity, you hide under a new
avatar to build just one big lie identity.
How it comes that people knows each other that well that they could
share themselves that much? Maybe I ask too much, but it's a
fact.
How can go into creating new identities, if are not even aware of
what our own identity is.
Have you felt that bad feeling, when you see a lot of morons in
facebook posing like a great and glorious people?
The rule in the social networks is the more dumb you're the better,
be opened, share everything, share your soul ...
All I describe is a enormous breach of privacy and the consequences
for the real life interactions of people are really
destructive.
We are so social on the internet today, that the internet has
become our second home, maybe our first one? Maybe we live in the
virtual reality? Where all this meaningless insanity would end
up?
And what is even worser about social networks is that they're all
about money, it's also true for the internet, even though it
started as a promising and good intention, when business entered
they turned it into a dead place for business.
The fun of the old computer glorious days is no more. Computers and
the coproduced technologies are being used inefficient increative
and binding.
We don't even have control over the social networks, it's all a
large database filled with information about millions of people
around the globe owned by a business company.
The more people interact with technology and the more pseudo social
they become, they're all becoming in an inexistent imaginary place
that constantly reshapes and takes forms.
The old sanity we all had is lost somewhere in the days
