Still Art and Technology, but more people thinking the real problems around

With this blogpost I want to open a weekly posts that I’ll be writing to avoid alzheimer and link to what I want to voice without getting all my Facebook, G+ and Twitter friends bore with so much social noise of “Cool” articles.

Instead I’ll be trying to put in both Spanish and English thoughts about what I consume by surfing the web.

Let’s start with the overrated silicon valley hero of the “past” since it used to be my “hero” and a day like today 3 years ago he passed away, according to his own speech to leave room for the new.

“The internet and the WWW are clearly the most exciting thing going on in computing today”

This was 1995 when this interview took place and this is still reality for many countries in the world. (I started watching this video because I’m following the how to start a start up class led by sam altman which I’ll be covering in future posts.)

He supports his opinion based on 3 reasons that I want to highlight since they are still relevant nowadays.

1.“Computers (Technology) are turning into communication devices and the web is the missing piece of the puzzle”

The web and technology support causes, they facilitate building, iterating and transforming thoughts into something functional.

2. It is gonna destroy vast layers of our economy and it is going to make available a presence in the market place for small companies that is equal to very large companies

If you are not breaking something in your society (people around you counts) then you need to think your idea bigger

3. Government funding the internet as a public facility

Lucky us in Colombia we seem to be in a good trend ☺ and definitely I’ll be following up on this one.

And there’s one more thing…

Human minds settle into fix ways of looking at the world….the young don’t know how the world was 20 years ago and see it as it is today without any preconceptions and dream how it could be based on that.

This is our gap to keep connecting art and technology, thought by more people at a time without any preconceptions left by the old world.
