Digital enclosure


At first you create necessety.


Let us remember the time, thousands of years ago when most of us were separated by thousands of miles. We didn’t knew each other and we were afraid of everything new. As time moved on we started to expand, soon our lands became small and we had to move on. As we met others similar to us, we had to mark the lands/places where we were. So that we could know people that live there, their habbits and their products. In order to flourish we had to keep databases. Another few hundred years passed and the information grew, the more we knew the more we could. Very soon data became traceable and people became aware of the power of knowledge(I and II WW).

If we throw away the fear of knowledge, ability to get information frees you and imprisons at the same time.  Current pace of life doesn’t allow us to slow down, to shut down. I may sincerely confess that I am addicted to cloud. Google simplifies my life, my everyday actions so much that i do not want  give up that freedom. See, in another 25-50 years it will not matter where we are. Life is so mobile that it would be dangerous for human to cling to one place. Right now I can’t see another future besides cloud. Human should leave behind a habbit that is daily simplifing his/her life.


And then you shackle them down…
