There is a beautiful Pino Longo article in the June 2010 quarterly magazine of science and history Prometheus on how the human-Internet interaction is reflected on the activities of man narrative.
Pino Longo, writer, theorist and essayist scientific information, says that thanks digital technologies, the narrative regains what is preumibile was the many strands (or multimedia ) primitive, long embroiled in the narrow hole of the word. This is not to abandon the word, we can not rest, but to enlarge that hole , recovering, among other things, the many dimensions of the non-linear time. It 's like you go to a full form, is inconceivable and amazing theater. " This
possible recovery of a multimedia dimension of communication is not without its problems.
Longo above questions us about the stories, myths of origins, parables that the "digital natives" may be constructed to narrate, to justify their existence to themselves and to anticipate their future.
In other words, if the need for narrative and storytelling is being shared by every human being, with us from birth to death and this infinite narrative is designed to build the identity and the meaning we attach to the world, what are communication of the consequences of bulimia that affects the public technologized on these essential functions and tell the story?
Pino Longo's answer actually leaves open the question: "I blog, the chat , the forums, social networks and so on," says Longo, "are the seeds of an embryonic new type of foundational narrative on which we can only conjecture, or a rambling and random background noise that is dissolving any remaining narrative? "
