Beyond Words

Nobody doubts about the Internet’s ability to break habits. For instance, two years ago, downloading a picture from a website took couple of minutes. Now it is a matter of seconds. The way we surf on the Internet changes constantly. To me, it is even more obvious since I was not really comfortable with new technologies. Today, I am on Twitter and Facebook, I write on this blog and I go online everyday... I try hard to adapt myself, but one of my deeply anchored principles was not to use my credit card online. I used to be stubborn about security on the web. Now I have understood that it is very convenient, and moreover it makes life easier for so many things. Even the government uses the Internet to make the tax paying system more accessible.

Yet, I can't help but think we are dehumanizing our lives. We used to go to a library with no precise idea but buying a book, asking the booksellers for some advices. Nowadays, the advices are little rating stars on online bookshops. I think the very consequence of this loss of sense is an absurd world. If I am not afraid anymore by this constant revolution, I still mistrust this wind of change.
