Wooshing Sound, Stroke

A world of news online and first-hand

From time to reflect on one of the central concepts of the hacker ethic: computer access for all. Only in this way the Internet can pose as a sort of "new world" in which each connecting reflects his life. I am not referring to those who create the web a sort of alternative to the real identity, but who uses the mother of all networks to expand the possibilities of the digital life can give. Be on line. Billions of links that cross. Nodes where information come together, collide, change, but most are available to all.
The idea is that anyone who has information to share the post. Allowing, thus, to compare it with that of others who attended the event, so that will have hundreds of sources. It is then the reader know "rebuild" the news based on their direct sources of wealth and not just because the newspapers have decided to switch or not.
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to achieving this is the lack of computer literacy that exists in our beautiful country. The lack of familiarity with HTML, blogs, wikis can be scary.
For those who want to begin a journey into a "web publishing" Free platforms I would recommend a little book interesting Web Publishing with Blogs and Wiki Alberto Mari published by Apogee and sold just over € 7. Make an interesting overview of the blogosphere and the world of wiki.
