Is technology taking us by storm… still? Are we still coping with its repercussions and effects? Actually, the question should be: are we actually aware of its repercussions? This might be an intensely debatable issue. But the facts are that, nowadays, the super might technology – and by that, we mostly mean computers, plus the obvious and mandatory Internet connection – actually represents a compensatory world.
At first glance, this world is the world of computer games with their 3D monsters or the world of the fully colored graphics and animated websites. Is that all? Actually, at a more profound ideological analysis, we observe the fact that this reality with technological support - if we may call it reality and not virtual fantasy – is a world where we want to escape, to play, to relax and to dream. Think about it: doesn’t the technology offer us all the above? Where will it end? Step by step, all human pleasures, dreams and desires will have a correspondent in this endless, limitless and charming virtual space.
