EndOf2010: Summary 2010 digital culture

2010 was the year that digital culture has completed its revolution settling everywhere. The question remaining is why we were left dissatisfied
In 2009 American comedian Louis hosted by Conan O'Brien Sikh, so delicate star of NBC's Knight Lite, very funny monologue, which treated the economic crisis, coined the law that eventually managed to distill the essence of the nature of the Internet generation - everything is amazing and no one is satisfied; devices mobile working too slowly ("Maybe give it a moment? Hell, it goes into space!") through a fast network connection failed aircraft ("how quickly the world owes you something you did not know existed until a minute ago?") to delay the sights in airports ( "Really? you wait 40 minutes on the track and what happened next? only you fly through the air like a bird?"). Humanity by a Sikh is a collection of ungrateful serious, scientific efforts that contribute to zero its technological achievements and expect full value all the time.Louis Sikh is a funny man even when he talks about families, children, divorce or fast food. This year he even outdid himself with his program "Louis" is responsible for some cracks in my chest. But when he put the situation into perspective - on the contrary the faces of consumers of progress and developments - is the funniest man in the world. His every word that is anchored in contemporary reality: We live in extraordinary times, which all amazing but no one satisfied.

Click a person, a great step for humanity

  
This week will end the first year after the most important decade in the history of the Internet, perhaps the greatest achievement of mankind since landing on the moon. In many ways there are between two of these technological milestones lot of similarities - both total impact on the company that invented them, the political aspect, political, educational, cultural and especially - economic.Space race of the '50s and '60s was the trigger for the processes that shaped how our world looked and acted - can include here the arming of the Cold War superpowers, the correspondence fields of design and art with a futuristic aesthetic nurtured the idea of space or the growth of the genre of science fiction literature and film. The difference is that each of these areas, a relatively small group of people had the tools and capabilities to make the change. In the case of the Internet, the situation is reversed. A large group - almost infinite - the people have the power, ability and tools to do a much larger change. Although not always, as we discover from time to time, for the better. But, on the other hand, in an era of democratization of the large group information source tools not only the driving force.

The third largest power

 
The film "social network" placed the story of the Creator, Mark Zackerberge, top the list of Oscar nominations and Time magazine gave himself the title of Man of the Year. Questions as to whether Zackerberge was getting my degree without the film or whether Facebook would have received a Hollywood film without the user of the 500 million (550 since the release) ceased to be relevant.What is important to understand, is that one in 12 people in the world has a Facebook account, and 1 from four Web pages viewed through it. Lapid became a new tool / distribution / promotion / marketing most important, leaving behind the home pages of major sites. Content is king? Still well. But every year it seems the platform is God.Excellent article that accompanied the coronation of Zackerberge Man of the Year, one paragraph in particular caught my eye - the fact that within it Page Zackerberge himself, appears in practice "elimination of desire" ("Eliminating Desire"). The article itself is explained that this is more perception of species that has eliminated the desire for things that really matter. You see? The man behind the most effective waste machine, the virtual window of time the world's largest, is actually a Buddhist. It's just I feel like I bent the wrong shower?

Offline, online and vice versa

 
All amazing and nobody wants that now (almost) everyone knows to download movies and series but still cry about it there is nothing to watch on TV (you disconnect the cable and satellite for God's sake!). Everyone (almost) have Twitter account where they dig their own life as a tool platform was established to save us from eating this heads (by the way, for me the culprit that is Kanye West). Everyone (well, almost) have smartphones but what are they worth the system incorporates their cellular company's collapse one day? And that's without telling you how long I should wait on the track my last flight to New York. 30 minutes, for that question. And - it felt like an eternity.So if to sum up the 2010 really, it is the year where the rest of the world discovered the domain of sexy digital culture. No longer need to convince people that technology, digitization and our future is fun. They've been looking for and find it on my own. Slowly but steadily the digital revolution came also to our parents' living room of our jobs, our government offices. We have more friends online Offline, we have more than Apple's devices we have in the past, and every possible aspect, this change is quite amazing. So how, how do we still not satisfied?
