Another great aspect of RSS Reader program is fact that you can put in key words of interest and computer will surf Web for you and add new blogs and web sites to your list, rating them according to terms you have selected. You then scan over these and add ones you feel are relevant, deleting detritus. Eventually you will have an email-style formatted file where you can search through all your favourite writers, news, and topics’ latest information. Then you also have functions such as ‘comment’ so you can automatically share your input with your fellow humans. Or, you can reply to ‘messages’ and actually communicate with producers of ideas.

This will really help to decentralise information sharing processes of current top-down mass communication systems like media. We can hear multiple opinions on an issue and give our own views, instead of being told one story that is heavily affected by company’s personal perspective of situation.

So, you can see this has potential for something quite big. Less time wasted, finding all knowledge you’re looking for, and sharing your opinion and meeting others similar to yourself has never been so easy. The RSS Reader is a knife cutting away all useless packaging, revealing true content of gift of Internet.

I guess it’s good that bored people in our technological society have others to talk to. It means depressed adolescents may feel more connected to others and not so alone in world, maybe even having a positive effect on a possibly suicidal youth. But, I do feel this nonsensical chitchat is a sign of our next generation’s apathetic view of present reality in our postmodern culture. When reading text from a supposedly religious discussion, and hearing graphic use of derogatory terminology, I really have to wonder about present spiritual beliefs of my culture.

I’m a true believer of concept that technology is here to further consciousness of humanity. Computers and Internet can help bring all of us in world together, thus evolving our society to next level. After looking at chat rooms, I feel there is a need to integrate more wisdom and compassion into our ‘new world’ generation. Having technology is great, but it is only one half of equation. To make Internet work properly, I think we need to instill same faith we have in science, into a faith that encompasses actual creators of information and communication tools-humanity itself. We seem to realize that we can invent many great things, but it looks like we’re missing out on great truth: that we ourselves are part of, and made of something great in itself: Life. (Existence!)
