no es sufciente apelar a las buenas intenciones de la población; más que nada necesitamos administrar sabiamente los cambios tecnológicos que ya están sucediendo a nuestro alrededor. En particular, utilizaremos el conocimiento sobre la información para reformar y consolidar plenamente la incipiente infósfera que ya existe a nuestro alrededor (el Internet) y desarrollar nuevos sistemas que serán la columna vertebral de este nuevo orden social.

No me gusta la frase "amigos de Internet", porque implica que la gente que conoces en línea no son realmente tus amigos, que de alguna manera la amistad es menos real o significativo para ti, ya que ocurre a través de Skype o mensajes de texto. La medida de una amistad no es su aspecto físico, pero su significado. Las buenas amistades, en línea o fuera, nos impulsan hacia la empatía; nos dan comodidad y también nos sacan de las cárceles de nuestro ser.

[...] non penso che esista in Internet un mezzo di comunicazione o un ambiente che sia migliore in assoluto. Tutto può essere utile, anche i blog naturalmente, e la scelta di una soluzione o di un'altra dipende solo da che cosa si vuole fare e dalle proprie preferenze; sconsiglio comunque di innamorarsi e di fissarsi su un solo strumento perché ritengo che sia molto interessante provare in continuazione cose nuove e tenere sempre molte porte aperte.

No, no me veo feliz, ni siquiera junto a ti. Ni siquiera en la más optimista de mis ensoñaciones me veo teniendo contigo una relación feliz, provechosa para ambos, sólida, cotidiana; burguesa, en suma. Nunca me la creería y siempre trataría de ponerla a prueba, de ir más lejos, hasta que un día terminara violentándote.

Nowadays, the Internet decides if you're good, not the big man in the big office. No matter how important that man thinks he is, everyone else knows that he's not important anymore, and the Internet decides these things, here in the modern age.

Now everything is sold on the Internet and anybody at all who doesn't know a thing can give their opinion.

now it’s computers and more computers and soon everybody will have one, 3-year-olds will have computers and everybody will know everything about everybody else long before they meet them. nobody will want to meet anybody else ever again and everybody will be a recluse like I am now.

Now, see, that's why everybody wants Internet friends. You can find people just exactly like you. Screw your neighbors and your family, too messy.' Dovey's phone buzzed, and she laughed, ignoring it. 'The trouble is, once you filter out everybody that doesn't agree with you, all that's left is maybe this one retired surfer guy living in Idaho.

Nur weil Informationen heute mühelos zugänglich sind, bedeutet das nicht automatisch auch, dass wir diese besitzen.

Of course, for all their counterculture pretensions, corporations like Google, Amazon, and Apple are still corporations. They seek profits, they try to maximize their monopoly power, they externalize costs, and, of course, they exploit labor. The American technology sector has externalized the cost of industrial pollution to Chinas cities, where people live in a pall of smog but no one - certainly not Apple - has to bear the cost of cleanup. Apple/Foxconn’s dreadful labor practices in China are common knowledge, and those Amazon packages with the sunny smile issue forth from warehouses that are more like Blake’s “dark satanic mills” than they are the new employment model for the internet age. The technology industry has manufactured images of the rebel hacker and hipster nerd, of products that empower individual and social change, of new ways of doing business, and now of mindful capitalism. Whatever truth might attach to any of these, the fact is that these are impressions carefully managed to get us to keep buying products and, just as importantly, to remain confident in the goodness and usefulness of the high-tech industry. We are being told these stories in the hope that we will believe them, buy into them, and feel both ip and spiritually renewed by the association. Unhappily, in this view of things, mindfulness can be extracted from a context of Buddhist meanings, values, and purposes. Meditation and mindfulness are not part of a whole way of life but only a spiritual technology, a mental app that is the same regardless of how it is used an what it is used for. Corporate mindfulness takes something that has the capacity to be oppositional - Buddhism - and redefines it. Eventually, we forget that it ever had its own meaning.

Okay, I have internet but it's limited and here on the web the information is countless.

Om de juiste technische keuzes te kunnen maken, moet u eerst de technische mogelijkheden kennen.

One of the curious aspects of the Twenty-First Century was the great delusion amongst many people, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, that freedom of speech and freedom of expression were best exercised on technological platforms owned by corporations dedicated to making as much money as possible.

Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, very weird people were effectively isolated from all the other very weird people. But today, the internet makes it possible for very weird people from anywhere on the planet to get on the internet and talk to one another.

On the first day of a college you will worry about how will you do inside the college? and at the last day of a college you will wonder what will you do outside the college?

Only on the Internet can a person be lonely and popular at the same time.

On the internet skin colour can not be seen, we are all one in this new dimension.

One real meeting is much better than a thousand internet or social media words.

On Twitter, people who had read my book followed me and I could see what else they were reading, why they'd liked what I'd written and by the by, more about them than I'd ever elicit from two minutes in a tent at a book festival, stuck behind a signing desk.

On the internet you're a troll until proven innocent.

Our feelings of anxiety are genuine but confused signals that something is amiss, and so need to be listened to and patiently interpreted -- processes which are unlikely to be completed when we have to hand, in the computer, one of the most powerful tools of distraction ever invented. The entire internet is in a sense pornographic, a deliverer of a constant excitement that we have no innate capacity to resist, a seducer that leads us down paths that for the most part do nothing to answer our real needs.

Our community deserves leaders who should know what debates and arguments are better conducted out of the public eye, instead of dumping their baskets of dirty laundry all over the internet. Our community deserves leaders who do not put political expedience or convenience before their commitments to those they supposedly represent. Our community deserves leaders who do not make about-turns on issues such as freedom of speech and accountability to the community they serve when it becomes too embarrassing for them, or too uncomfortable. Our community deserves leaders who can and want to work together, not fling their handbags at each other, hissing like drama queens.

People with fewer economic resources have very limited opportunity for joining the global internet economy.

People always knock what's new but I love the modern Internet, where cleverness is currency. Social media is a cleverness meritocracy. We're living in it.

People become desensitized to many things going on around them. It is because they always see it on the tv, hear it on the radio, read or watch it on the internet, hear about it at work etc. Then immoral acts are tuned to a deaf ear. Then no one wants to take action or speak up for what's right. Break the cycle and have moral character.

People used to build great libraries to symbolize man’s quest for knowledge, now we have the Internet which is both more powerful and wonderful. The men who used to get their information from the library were considered scholars but the men who get their information from the Internet are considered idiots, or worse, thieves.

Personalization is based on a bargain. In exchange for the service of filtering, you hand large companies an enormous amount of data about your daily life--much of which you might not trust your friends with.

Part of living in a free society is accepting that no idea is beyond being challenged or ridiculed, and that nothing is more stifling to free expression than being afraid to upset or offend.

People who have so much of their personality invested in the Internet can’t really survive as whole individuals without it.

Please, do not take the internet literally because it is data. Life happens. Thank you. Netiquette NetworkEtiquette.net

Podemos canalizar a revolução da web 2.0 de maneira construtiva, de modo que ela enriqueça ao invés de matar nossa economia, cultura e valores

Prior to the age of telegraphy, the information-action ratio was sufficiently close so that most people had a sense of being able to control some of the contingencies in their lives. What people knew about had action-value. In the information world created by telegraphy, this sense of potency was lost, precisely because the whole world became context for news. Everything became everyone's business. For the first time, we were sent information which answered no question we had asked, and which, in any case, did not permit the right of reply.

Potentially, anyone writing on the Web can reach a global audience. In practice, hardly anyone ever does.

Rule 36: There is always more fucked-up shit than what you just saw.

Right and wrong applies to internet interaction. It's #Netiquette. NetworkEtiquette.net

Search engines finds the information, not necessarily the truth.

Scott's friends on the forum didn't know his big picture. They read a phrase like "It's going to kill me to live without him" for its precise meaning, and nothing else. They didn't read more than those nine words into the message. They didn't take offense, didn't try to talk him out of it. Didn't resent it for its presumed relativity. "Of course it is," they said. And it was the same way they'd responded to every other thing he'd told them about himself: his thoughts on parenting, on marriage and sex, on education and race. They read what he wrote, and only what he wrote, and they responded. Not always in agreement - he'd had plenty of heated discussions over the past year on this issue or that. But he didn't need yes-men any more than he needed someone to read twenty-one extra words into the nine he'd written.

Science... internet... and women have one in common all end up as biatch.... So it's very bitchy, when they don't stop talking.

Search engines are gateways to people’s minds

She had Google, and she had Wikipedia. She could look up anything obscure, any words or phrases that she didn’t understand. A romance novel was just a book, while the Internet was the Internet. The Internet would crack these nuts for sure.

Sensing my delight at seeing his laptop, Tom asked me, "William, have you ever seen the Internet?" "No." In a quiet conference room, Tom sat me down at his computer and explained the track pad, how the motion of my fingers guided the arrow on the screen. "This is Google," he said. "You can find answers to anything. What do you want to search for?" "Windmill." In one second, he'd pulled up five million page results-pictures and models of windmills I'd never even imagined.

See you on the other side of the screen, if you make it, earnest cyberspace cadet.

Send these images of me through the internet out into the universe, where I will continue my out-of-body existence.

She no longer lived in a world of speculation or recall and would take nothing on faith when the facts were but a few clicks away. It drove me nuts. I was sick to death of having as my dinner companions Wikipedia, About.com, IMDb, the Zagat guide, Time out New York, a hundred Tumblrs, the New York Times, and People magazine. Was there not some strange forgotten pleasure in reveling in our ignorance? Would we just be wrong?

Software testing is a sport like hunting, it's bughunting.

Since the 1970s, there has been a continual tendency to over-estimate the surveillance capacities of new technologies. In the sense of the physical invasion of privacy, surveillance comprises five sequential events: the capacity to observe; the act of observation; comprehension of what is seen; intervention on the basis of that knowledge; and a consequent change of behaviour by the subject. Too often the final four have been assumed from the possibility of the first.

Smartphones control us with assistance Netiquette provides guidelines for right and wrong. NetworkEtiquette.net

Social networking platforms drove man closer to those in neighboring continents, while driving him further apart from those in his neighborhood.

Social media giants need to stop pretending they are changing the world, making it a better place and come forward and admit that they are deliberately selling a product that is, in fact, addictive and harmful for us.

Social media optimization matters. Without a strong SEO, it will be difficult to engage an audience and bring attention to your brand.
