Contrary to those who, sitting in front of the TV, drink all that information that is bombarded with useless - and, in a futile attempt to defend them selvs, jump from channel to channel, from futility to futility,- the user of the Internet, jump from page to page, building an image of the world. One thought the world. For this, the world seems suddenly reduced to a few thousand pages that was stacked in his memory.
Unlike television, which is a passive spectator of the action, the user of the Internet, acts at will, jumping from page to page looking for something. Even if he doesn’t find anything, he built a mental journey, a journey through the virtual world. This trip, that has been sheded in the corners of your memory, loosing images, sounds, words, short phrases, like small cards forgotten in a drawer are waiting to be re-discovered.
