In these times dominated by the unbridled flow of news, man has lost any chance of understanding the constituent lines and lines of his age and his being and has been submerged, suffocated, crushed by a tsunami of information events that drown every day and is made a range of waste going from global catastrophes celebrity gossip.
All humanity has become a flock of zombies entranced going to the cliff and poor Piper of Hamelin rats. Billions of humans live intoxicated by the information, the use of mobile phones and consumer advertising that generates virtual prospects of success and look totally alien to their own misery. The ancient gods have been exchanged for pagan deities to which the city now in trance magnates while they suck their meager earnings.
work today is to eat garbage. Parents and children who are chained in a planetary slavery nor the most never have imagined evil pirate and live haunted by a pathological need to pretend they are not and live on borrowed time. The famous dictum "I think, therefore I am" is outdated and has changed to "I have credit card, therefore I am" or "I have phone, therefore I am ',' I'm on Facebook, therefore I am" or "I have a car, therefore I am. "
No one can escape the news today, as in all public places there are television screens that broadcast news permanent live images of hoses and disasters, while public transport radio sounds with local political gossip or sexual avatars the stars of show business. In addition to news of wars and disasters frequently shake the world and produce the same litany from Haiti to Japan and from Australia to Chile, passing through Africa, Asia and the Middle East, modern man is continually informed of the life of stars , princes and athletes, and direct searches in bed stories, divorces, ruins, diseases.
The contemporary citizen is bombarded daily by the political gossip of their respective countries, in a series of scandals and dirty with empty statements that rogues poison the population. Governments know very well uncovered a scandal to another, maintain people addicted to these daily quarrels between politicians, most of which are only bandits who reproached each other condition.
Reading to a newspaper columnist is astonished to see how they can lose an entire lifetime following the succession daily news useless local policies that lead nowhere. With few exceptions characterized by good writing or research and reporting corruption risky risk of dying, all the writers of newspapers lose time with uncut analysis on the evolution of these politicians.
Citizens of all countries is taken and the flange at the mercy of the interests of these radio stations, television or the mainstream press media that fills their brains trash news 24 hours a day.
George Orwell in his famous 1984 book pictured the big brother that controlled everything, but fell short of paranoid fantasy, as each of our steps and gestures is followed, archiving and controlled through our phones, computers or cards credit. Humanity instead of studying and training, learn from the past and ponder the future, live manipulated by those reports that fill the brain of detritus become infected. Way to work the man is immersed in the story and go home after work back again to vegetate in front of the TV. Nobody talks other. We are all glued to the screens, our cell phones or computers. We are shadows from each other. Do not live, we do not exist on their own, but according to the ceaseless avalanche of data, statements, parties that take place until the poor man fell exhausted, slept, to return the next day to repeat the routine of being only listener or viewer a virtual world dominated by powerful and global financial scandals.
With the mobile man was not released but eventually also fall prey to their domestic news. No wonder then that the business magazine Forbes now inform us that the world's richest man is Carlos Slim, the Mexican drug lord cellular telephony in Latin America. And every now proud to celebrate the vampire who has been enslaving hundreds of millions of impoverished Latin Americans who have not eaten for cellular and thicken and the accounts of apocalyptic tycoon complete impunity came to the astronomical sum of 70,000 million dollars taken poor pocket. Feel a nostalgia for Bill Gates, at least contemporary Marconi invented the personal computer age and Internet. Because the unthinkable fortune of this great rascal is strong proof that we live in a world of cell phone zombies chained news as a prosthesis of his idle existence.
