Introduction
wanted to wait until 1500 to again take up something, but the wait is too long to so take courage and began to write these words.
This work, or rather this idea, he had developed years ago when I was studying Sociology at the CBC. At the time was a little analysis to answer a question in part (by the way I was raising a very good grade), and always wanted to develop a little more, but as usual he had no excuses to write or where to publish. Luckily, that changed a bit now.
is very fashionable recently to talk about social networking and what would be its proper use, what role they play in youth, their advantages and disadvantages. But this is nothing more than a reactionary attack against freedom of expression and not a sociological or philosophical analysis of the direction humanity is taking. I say it is a reactionary attack because what is at issue are the limits that should make the networks and to restrict their use. For example we talk of "cyber K" or the kids who organized "rateadas" mass. Not for favoring the ruling, but this is a clear attack oligopolies owners of the media (corporations and journalists) that do not support that now anyone can investigate, analyze, explain and criticize any topic drawing their own conclusions, and above all things do it for free and unrestricted. Which so far could not be done because the media access was available only to an elite who responded to a particular interest. Same with the kids, the mean rata beyond fuck is a clear cry for freedom. It challenges the institutional authority of Education, means "you do not force me to study, I'm going because I want when I want." Lose the status of authority means losing control, and the reactionary classes all they want is to dominate, so they find it so unacceptable to organize these things. But this is a matter of further analysis I will try in other writings. Today I'm dedicating myself to address the issue of alienation of man with the communication and technological advances in the history of mankind.
One can take that life on Earth developed over a ball of rock and water, but for practical reasons I say that life on Earth takes place inside a bubble of gas (atmosphere). 10 thousand years ago humans walking on the planet and since then the bubble began to shrink. Man primitive was nomadic, had no fixed place of residence but was moving to the rhythm of food were running out, the bubble was as big as the world. As time wore on it was found that could grow and raise their own food without having to go depending on the whims of nature. Start a sedentary lifestyle, but there is a problem with this, not all sites are suitable for growing anything, so that each settlement of other people still need to live on, it started the wars, tribes who wanted to live in a fertile territory that was already occupied and the occupiers who wanted to stay there, was no longer the economic system Keep system known as giving way to the slavery system, which involved using the defeated in battle as slaves to work their land and serve the victors. But not enough to establish the dominance of a single territory, nor was it viable to launch a war against all other tribes, had to find a peaceful solution to the issue, a joint agreement where they lacked what some could be traded for what their wealth to others, giving birth to early trade and begin to establish the kingdoms that would then step to the economic system of feudalism. The new trade brought the need for transport routes and to expedite the shipment of goods. The world was shrinking, as the travel time was shorter (try to see it in terms of distance from that time.) Now there was one giant bubble that was almost impossible to find out what happened to the other side, but there were several smaller bubbles (the kingdoms, provinces, colonies, etc..) Reported by vehicles shortened routes and times from the traction animal until the steam engine whenever the distances were smaller in terms of time. For the late nineteenth century industrial revolution had brought many advances in communications. The printing press facilitated the production of books, now the ideas could be easily carried from one place to another, steamships and rail system plus the shortened waiting times. Still remained very long.
should also be borne in mind that technological advances led to a migration from rural to urban, from farm to factory. The bubbles were now concrete urban and rural families with many children to work the land had been reduced. The bourgeois revolutions and their ideas of the Enlightenment had created the concept of private ownership, these ideas could travel faster than before and spread around the world, leaving aside the feudal system and finally started giving Capitalist System. This causes two kinds of bubbles, the bubbles accumulated family homes and social bubbles accumulated in countries. Gone was the need to transport goods only, the Enlightenment had created a need to convey ideas. Newspapers and books had made these particular bubbles covering the countries and kingdoms (in reference to the walls that prevented know the local realities abroad) to move to the houses. Now social bubbles were transparent, you could hear that happening on the other side in a matter of days.
So far we identify 3 revolutions in communications, the invention of the wheel, the invention of printing and the invention of the motor. All had improved and had shrunk the world, but still requiring considerable time and materials need to haul things from one place to another. In the nineteenth century communications revolution gives the fourth, the ability to communicate from city to city without having to move them, the telegraph and then the phone will allow transmission of information in seconds, no longer take days. Years later he gives the fifth revolution, radio and television, one could see and hear what was going on in almost anywhere. Bubbles were so close together that no longer were many and scattered, but now had become a single and quite small.
Every advance in communications world shrinks a bit more of the world, yet made more accessible means of communication to the common man. For the 1970 the world had ceased to be a giant opaque bubble into a small clear bubble composed of opaque bubbles. Gone were the barriers that impede learning what was happening across the world, information was available on every phone, radio and television in every home. Hence the formation new brick bubbles. Every home is different. This begins the last decade the Internet communications revolution. This phenomenon I'm going to take in the next posting.
I have just read recently is just a brief introduction on the history of communications. I did a very generalized accuracy aside to develop the concept of a bubble. So try to explain how the world for man went from being a giant bubble where everything was far away, to become a little bubble filled with other bubbles where everything was within reach of a click. It would seem that with the communications world is homogenized and merged into a great community. But as you will see the next note, the opposite happened. The man became much more isolated and alienated than ever. But they will have to wait.
