Information Society-the concept and related nations

We live in information society. Every day we start i the same way. We open our computers or watch tv or read papers for longing for new informations. One of us want to know what is going on i South Korea and the other what king of shoes Paris Hilton is wearing today.
20 years ago we could read and listen to news wroted in papers or showed in tv. Now world give us so many informations that we can pick the one we like or we're interested in and it don't have to be informations from one source.
The hunger of informations grew hand in hand with hunger for new technologies. 10 years ago I didn't have a cell phone or computer in my house and the only thing I wanted to have was a precious bike. Now when I look on my younger cousins I don't see the same dreams and hopes. Now they want to have a new, better cell every year and the dream of a precious bike make them laugh. I was shocked when my 2 year old nephew took a CD and knew where to put it and watch "Teletubbies".
Going back to informatons in society... In my opinion information now is in many cases more and more worthless. The explosion of new posibilities that came with new technologies was beyond our expectations. We were used to no cell phones, no e-mails, no messengers, no Facebook
and still informations spread wery quickly. And people were meeting ther people in real life, not in Internet. Now the new generation of young people wants to talk not face to face but with using computer.
So the conlcusion is: information society is good and we all know about it, that's nothing new or amazing, but it has some disadvatages that can provide to fall of the society and social life in the real world. This society we live in gives us so much opportunites but also it isolate our imgination. We'll stop talking and start texting to person next to us.

Some thoughts about blogging

I've blogged several times in my short life. Every time with the same effect at the end. I didn't knew what to write about. The say, that the beginnigs are difficult, I say - the bigginnig is easy, difficulty starts whet you have to keep on writing and posting.
Many times I asked myself, why do I blog? What I want to write about. Writing about new great pair of jeans, or about my pet's life or that color of my T-shirt and my sneakers does not interest anyone of my colleagues, so even less it will interest strangers.
I hate blogs with sugary sweet posts or dull report of somebody's life.
The blog has to be interesting... And that is the hardest thing to do. Half of a success in having a really good idea of blogging and strictly obey the rules of your idea. The second half is how do you write it.
People in our age need to have short, comprehensive and amusing information. We live in a "always late" times so our story should be so quick that you can read it during your way to work.
When times are like this people and the society are the same. We have to match to all the technological momentum and requirements that modern world puts us into.

We agree on that becouse otherwise we will be left far behind that, was stays "here and now".
With internet we can stay home or be any place we want to and still be in touch with newest broadcast, or informations and be connected to the one we had lelft at home or still be in work.
But what if all this informations and being still "in touch" and "on time" will make in us no desire to know the other person face to face ,"in real"? what would it be like? Look around, it's already happening...
