Sometimes Atle wonders if that is what we are experiencing
these days. The Internet, Ipads, Iphones and so on. All these devices that keep
us in touch with the cyberworld and (maybe) each other. Personally Atle thinks
all these devices which free you from the bothersome speaking directly to other
real persons are not social media at all. They just pretend to be. They are
only the INTERFACE between you and the social world. And we tend to express
ourselves as brief as possible.
If you read books written some centuries ago, you will see
that the sentences are quite complicated. Quite different from the meanings you
create with two thumbs and index fingers on the minute keyboard of your
intelligent (why ”intelligent”?) phone. If you don’t know the tribal language
you will definitely have problems…
By the way – the other day Atle met an Englishman who
introduced himself as Ian. Atle did not catch the name and maybe looked like a
question mark. ” – Ian as in intelligent,” he said. Atle felt stupid and dumb.
By the way – one more time. Have you ever heard about homo
sapiens sapiens? Guess not? You think homo sapiens is the name? Or homo?
Hoho!
