many years ago, in this universe called Lima -because it gives me a sudden craving to be local- existed until now what are called "geeks" and that we caracterizábamos by a series of quirky activities:
- We knew we were using computers and internet for all.
- We played video games. And we enviciábamos.
- We played in net.
- were still comics and / or anime.
- We watched compulsively TV series that were not necessarily comedies or novels, and its content is usually a mix of science, science fiction, drama and / or police.
- collect when the latest technological fetishes were not necessarily anything very useful.
Now, technological and social revolution, fashion, pose , the need to feel part of the global vanguard of civilization, has led to myriad human once considered themselves cool, relaxed, bohemian , Pachangueros, yosoybacán-es and other varieties of social animals, have succumbed completely ignorant of it, and censured the former hobbies of geeks . Now, do things geeks is part of being cool.
- all have at least one human PC in our homes. And the least has a laptop. And the least, even an apple . The apple are neat. The iproducts more so. Suffice it to say, 90% do not know rather than using office and explorer ... but they do. Now the geek is using firefox , or who knows how to make a partition ... or using open source software (how? what's wrong with windows!)
- now everyone has facebook -earlier, droll hi5-the vast majority use twitter (that thing still do not understand), many use flickr, a few have their blog - where there is usually nothing more elaborate than their own lives narrated verbatim, "and a very few, the most anxious, have a youtube channel . But all, all, play something on facebook. From SuperPoke , SendGummyBears , Mycity , Nations, MafiaWars , Werewolves , Farmville (so lame) Petsociety , CrazyCombi , etc. And do not play it once or twice a day ... or once in coffee break in the chamba ... no. I play all the blessed day, for hours. And needless to say of those fateful applications " phrase ..." "I confess that I enjoy some, but most are crap, where people spend eternity until they are cruising the sentence they are seeking. And worse, the published ... all .
- Perhaps it is somewhat redundant, but all those games ... are networked. But there's more. The arrival of Wii our society has been flooded with a wave of new services. From the timid meetings where people played winning eleven (mátense, please), now people get together to play Wii . And he plays everything. Because now the Wii is cool . And if you still have doubts, if there are still skeptical, reluctant to this new boom ... advertising Natal Xbox 360 guarantees hooked a second wave of much more massive. And all networked.
- Along the same lines of facebook, now got this bizarre phenomenon called the pezweón . This grace must confess that I enjoyed one, two ... three to four times. But never 100 ps. And now is the flag of freedom of expression, oppressed Peruvian emblem (which can no longer sing in their anthem), the symbol of the oppressive, irrational and cucufato. And all of a drawing "repeating the same dumb joke ever? Idiocracy 100%. But it is a kind of comic. And everyone likes. And they all read it, and expect weekly, as I do with xkcd and others order of the stick, or phd comics -.
- Television is now flooded, tsunamizada, pantanizada, overwhelmed the series. The is absolutely all . From the broder that can detect lies, until paramedics medium, through medium Aunt, Aunt medium that also speaks to the dead, which appears be psychic, which is psychic who seems psychic is like four CSI s, three Law & Order more police series, as five sets of physicians, even made in Peru and, a few soap operas ... and about a zillion muchillones comedy. And they all have obsessive fans who watch every last second of every chapter ... and some even get off the Internet. And they are totally atypical successful characters as nerds The Big Bang Theory or antihero House. And not to mention cutting the highbrow series Numb3rs as , Lost or Fringe , and even quasi- frames anime / comic-scarce as Heroes.
- Returning to the first point, almost everyone now has a iProductivity . Athletes (like me) have shuffles; the marbles, nanos, the losers, ipods 1stG; the cool , ipods touch. And the latter is generally used to extend the obsessiveness of points 2 and 3: facebook and minigames.
Sometimes I think sports how to change people's perception of fashion product. Trends move the economy moves into the world economy. And we do not have, individually, the more control over it. As a not control the termite mound. The most we can hope is to understand ... and take advantage of it. And be cool termite.
The next time you fall victim to their vices postomodernos, whether at themselves back in 1998. And ask yourself if there would. Be surprised.
