worth not deny it, we live in times of revolution. The first decade of the century laid the foundation for the continuous generation of information, while the 2011 has been to exploit the rapid communication and the elimination of intermediaries, but just ask Julian Assange. "Welcome to a world without certainties and titled the past Sunday one of its spectacular columns Vicente Verdú, to describe a world of local and global, extremely interconnected, mobile and wireless and innovation as saving belief. Moises Naim, from his armchair observer virtual global-back this word, "was added, without knowing it, the thesis Verdú, presenting a varied cast of studies Yale University, which relate to the famous American presenter Oprah Winfrey with the GDP of the country, the amount of exports in China, increasing grants to Haiti or the commodification of women's figure of success ... When Oprah butterfly flaps its wings vibrate the world, globalization we connected and the vehicle technology in social networks are increasing the speed. Twitter is the wave that transforms the flapping of a butterfly in global hurricane. The global and the local produce global crystallizes in each locality. We are "glocal." Our students and our children the most.
The revolution rages in the world and the social networks and other digital tools we serve it on internet screen within our own homes. Across the Mediterranean thousands protesters chanted the Egyptian revolution broadcast on Facebook and Twitter. Today, with the rise of corporations, tyrants leaders do not release their anger against ration cards or water supply, follow protocols to placate comprehensive and well-informed democracy, the first thing cut is the umbilical cord that binds them the democratic world: the Internet. The digital blackout as a weapon has become destructive, which layer will and ability to organize people and has placed the revolutions in North Africa in a movement that dominated the world is astounding, no analyst or insightful guru nostradamus this century had predicted similar global dynamic. The network promotes and takes the pulse of the time in the surprise, the revolution and connection.
touch you live in interesting times, gives an old Chinese curse. From global to local, traveled by train to Pamplona reading about the news on the videos uploaded to Youtube clandestinely, protesters in Libya. At my side, mother and son discussed. He, about 12 years, want more cookies. She, quite young, you think you have had enough. There is a first warning in the guerrilla to appease the child, under the guise of wry gesture others traveling on the train, diplomats traveling companions. I'm still writing, the landscape in the window is a portrait of Castilla desert to Libya. Second notice threatening the child. Meanwhile, observe the system tanks advancing on the protesters. In an explosion on youtube, the child turns on the seat and struggles with the packet of biscuits in the hands of his mother, the result is crumbs flying in all directions. Embassies in Libya touch with its citizens, on the train all look the other way. The whole week without internet is punished the final sentence of the young mother. The result: a child who bites stunned lips with his arms folded, frowning to avoid an unsuccessful shameful tears spill children online sliding down her cheeks. At the end of travel, games for my iphone consoled him a few minutes ...
The world has expanded network and the network, they know the Libyan demonstrators seeking democracy , ears, accomplices, channels, output, information, freedom, and rights organization, and he knows the 12 year old preteen use it for entertainment, duties, their tastes, communication, music, movies, download, blog, photos, newspaper, jobs, sport and the constant question. Many of us left in the middle, authors and creators, critics and skeptics and a very special group, parents and guests, who have taken the train in motion but in the caboose and feel as the largest network to expand, they become entangled, with the mitigation of being forced to be the guardians of their children in a new world, digital, they crave cold and dispassionate. Educators and parents attending school meetings and meetings for answers and offer them more questions about security, with police as speakers who speak crime and punishment, privacy, sexting, and cyberbullying raising the flag of protection. Who does not want to protect? me too, but not well.
If by now you read this page guess I would like to invite you to join a different perspective . I also am interested in the minors online, but I think the best way is the occupation and not worry, technology training for parents, shared discovery of benefits and hazards and the accompaniment, rather than protection. It is not just to protect, but to accompany, to learn and be taught.
