I was thinking about the internet...
I remember my first 56k modem, bought ten years ago and, above all, I remember the emotion of being on line for the first time...
At that time I was 12 years old and probably the first between my friends to have something like that.
Today it's all different,,, We see 5 years old children playing on the Teletubbies web page and everyone of us uses to talk with an im system or sending email...
But there is no awareness of the medium... We use it, we surf and look for info, but we don't know how it works or who made it possible... And we don't think about the real power the net has... The power of make us closer one to each other. We say we are the computer generation, but this is not true!
We are a generation of unconscious users...

You're right!
I think nobody really has an idea of what the World Wide Web is truly capable of.
It will hopefully lead to a revolution of the mechanisms into freedom of speech and thought.
Or it will lead us straight to Orwell's 1984... Who knows....
