The future of web is « no scrolling pages »

Like many people : - You print every article which contains more than 30 lines - You destroy your eyes reading exiting things on Internet - You don't read whole sentences, you jump from words to words trying to understand the principal idea, and become stupid . What's the 2 problems ? - The little one I don't want to develop : Your screen is note made for human eyes (the Kindle seems to be a first solution to make screens human eyes friendly) - The other one. We dont'l like reading vertically moving texts ! Human eyes and human brain is not able to do it. Take a book, ok, block your head, and try to read pages, moving it vertically in front of your eyes.

Manufacturing consent : Democracy surgery (must be seen) by Noam Chomsky

Image via Wikipedia Wow. I've ever read Noam Chomsky but never watched yet. What a speech control, he masters the art of debate and conference animation.

Media love scary crisis

Image
Image via Wikipedia First point, I've the impression that Media only deals about crisis negatively , trying to scare people. They maintain the recession trend, the deflation trend. When I read my RSS feeds, I see ideas to change the world , I see people who explain how they keep going on during crisis, I see people who decide to change their habits of overconsuming, and see the crisis as an opportunity to change their way of life, our way of life. Crisis make people change their vision of world, their vision of economy, and of consuming society. In several countries or regions, people go on strike, they manifest, they doesn't want to play the game of capitalist system, they stop consuming and they stop being money focused. Why nobody put it in the first plan in generalist media. It's exciting, it interests people ?! I think they are not interest in way of life and economic system change, and they don't want to see people interested in. Media belongs to big industrial
