The trip to Blogfest

On Saturday 3 October we went to Blogfest in Riva del Garda: an initiative very sponsored but with few participans.
The day began with a presentation of Workshop Futur3 and Project Luna(Large Unwired Network Applications) which nowadays are very useful and important in the Technology's world, because allow to have a net Wi-fi in a specific area.
The people who were at that meeting work always with their pc and social network, therefore they were very interested at that project.
Then in Galleria San giuseppe we saw how photos can be modified in a Photocamp. The funnier part was to interview(in couple) some persons and to hear their opinions.
I think that we, as students of a highschool, aren't very fanatical or needy of technology of this kind because we prefer to do or use something else, not always the computer. Anyway this experience could be useful for the mechanicistic future, where the power of technology will be very bulky and popular.
In my opinion all that it's enough positive because is really very practical and swift, and it exploits the globalization and the way to work and live.
But it's also negative because it losts always more a minimum of personal privacy and the reality of interpersonal comunications changes. The relationships are reduced to practical controls fast us and (virtual) for which in real time it is known already all on a person and what that do.
The technology it works well but it create a "mechanicistic" sense, it's a dependence(even though it is overestimated it) and it's diffucult to detach itself from this. The problem is:until to that point the Man will arrive? I believe it's a whole fact of aesthetics(photoshop,power point,video),less boredom,special effects, practicality and less work. Everyone then makes what it wants, it is relative the daily use,or less, of the technology.

" The man overhangs all with the technique and develops a continuous progress( like the practicy of the technology) but it's necessary also to keep the sense,of what he does, which is exclusively natural (not artificial)."

  2. I agree with Denise here Veronica, a truly excellent, in-depth and interesting post. Well done!

    I think your point about privacy is really important. Too many young people don't seem to care about their own privacy on things like Facebook etc. Do you think in general teenagers should be more careful about privacy, or do you think that adults are just too worried about it?
