The Nashville Files - Just for today I will be away from that computer

Just for today I will be away from that computer

The body exists to hold the spine that holds the head, which holds the eyes and the cerebral cortex and releasing the arms that are to type and click. The Internet does not keep business hours or close for lunch. Every day is helpful. And that changed my life. My time lost pointers. I do not have time to eat and, like a newborn baby, I do not know what days and what night. At 4 am I'm so plundered like at 4 o'clock. Ready to evacuate nursing information and ideas.

My body exists to hold the spine that holds the head that holds the eyes and the cerebral cortex. And release the arms that are to type and click.

My eyes are beyond reach. Neither high myopia prevents them are now here, now in China.

They tell me that is not the same as being in China with their feet firmly planted there. But my brain does not know it. Perhaps because it has never gone to China. Maybe because he can not tell the worlds from here and there.

I for one, am confused. Most of the time, I feel as this one as the other. Actually I do not know what is the borderline. Almost feel the smell, temperature and flavor that come from the screen.

Being in there was the dream of character Cosme, Sesame Street. He said: "I want to be in there." And he was always in here. But that was before the internet. Because today we are in there and here simultaneously. Cosme should be happy now.

Physics has changed.

I do not have much need to leave home as before. A basic daily caminhadinha which is to circulate blood. However, when I have a meeting on the street, giving that daunting. For street if there is Skype? With audio, webcam and so conference? With the advantage of power, like the presenters of TV news, I have some from the waist up.

My relationships have changed.

Talk to friends who are in other countries, for hours, with the banality of a click. I am close to someone who only saw him once in person at most. I know people who would never experience in my mundane routine. Talk to people who do not speak. But so what? Just turn them off.

And love? Where is it? I do not know. Not even know what love is. Because the reference of love lost in the lightness and ease of relations. But do not blame the Internet. Maybe because I love her. And in a passionate relationship we never sees the faults of others.

On weekends, I try to leave the house, but the Internet does not leave. My daughter pulls me by the arms. And as a member of Alcoholics Anonymous I say, "Just for today I will be away from that computer."

But if it is to go to the movies, now I come to see the Internet programming. And, in seconds, I'm calling my daughter to see a spectacular animation, hosted at the site of cultural programs. An animation that leads to another leads to another ... and when we see the movie on the big screen is gone ...

The Internet has definitely changed the conception of time and space. As a black hole, it sucks what is around you to lead to another dimension.
