Old and young kids use the Internet daily for hours and hours. Some of them exist just on the Internet. A lot of people lead two or more lives/personalities (net life, net friends, etc.) not understanding the principles of globalisation and the Internet.

Today compare to years ago?

Today almost everybody is on the Internet, starting with small kids, housewives up to most advanced users, so called hackers and developers who together build Internet safety and the infrastructure. Governments all over the world are putting a lot of pressure on those people because they are directly connected to personal data of lots of users. This fact puts them into constant fear, dangerous situations and unhuman pressure. Small people have access to servers, routers, infrastructure. The Internet is an open system and millions of pieces of personal data can get out through a single, small system hole, notebooks can be stolen … and there is no law, that can protect us. We have to know how to live with it. We lost the battle for the clean Internet when the Internet was invented.

Social networking sites

If we connect through a social network site, our relationship remains that of a stranger to stranger. We have to be as careful as possible – making real friends is not that easy and this process cannot be changed by a technologial approach. Use social networking service carefully, keep in touch with your real friends, share photos, thoughts and ideas. It is dangerous to have lots of virtual friends all around the world, but none in your basic, primary everyday social network.

There are many traps and risks – the Internet is large, free to all, information are not always good, nice and clean. That makes the Internet the most polluted information channel of mankind. We cannot change this fact, but we can change relations, educate kids how to live healthy, avoid danger and traps.

What is once on the Internet it remains there

The Net is an information junkyard. People are surfing around and using Internet services more and more. The most popular application today is social networking and those sites are affecting the political order of the world.

Internet 2.0 (share as much you can)

Internet revolution or going to 2.0 – global competition, global information exchange. We share our work, intelligence and our minds. Are we being controlled by Google, Microsoft or … by all? You decide.

Information that you produce, you can be shared with Facebook, Microsoft, the government or with God. You have to decide who to trust.

Spread information online, have your 2.0 profile, put yourself on a blog, make presentations online, build a professional network with LinkedIN, be present on Myspace or Facebook, but connect with people that you can trust or use an alter personallity for making new relations. Get to know them better and then bring them into your primary social network.

Forgiveness, faith, love

The world is bad, we are sorrounded by fear and we all can become victims of torture and violence, but no one can kill the faith in a better future.

If you get into trouble, torture mixed with bad emotions, don’t become an EMO, don’t stop. Move on, live and make tomorrow.
