The always interesting to insert the Sunday Sole24ore, kindly passatomi regularly to Martha, I read an acute reflection heading cultweb . In it is argued that new forms of aggregations of information such as social networks are bringing in our way of thinking an idea of \u200b\u200blinearity, the dispersion after the era of hypertext. I quote directly:
"Stefan Balázs supports the German online magazine Telepolis that the Web 2.0 marks a return to linearity: blog, twitter or facebook give impetus organization of content close to that of the "old" media such as books, radio or film, channeling the complexity and dispersion of hypertext narratives. Certainly no going back, nothing prevents you from leaping back to surf from one link to another, but these formats would introduce at least a semblance of order to the reassuring, however, increasingly fragmented strands of thought. "
observation seems relevant and yet find a difference between a book and Web 2.0: the linearity is there, but I think the opposite direction. When we read a book from the beginning, or from what is older and go to the end, or what is more recent ; when we read a blog or a social network notifications we always start from the end, the most recent, and only if we want and / or time we go up the back. With an effect somewhat 'paradoxical, or even things that seem very recent date and to forget, badgered by the new updates. The paradox is that today it is very easy to keep data and records (whole volumes are on a USB stick), but these memories are not interested in more background. Advancing with the passage of shrimp, recovering the past only the bare minimum, all aiming to seize the moment, the modern, fashion. He was perhaps right when he said that Eliot ours is "an age that moves backwards, progressively" ?
