Respond to charlie’s “travelling without moving”, yes we really almost can do everything in front of the computer screen now. In Johny Depp’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, people able to teleport things through tv, dissolved – transport – resembled. Do you think it will happened? When the time coming, people will not only embark the “journey” on a virtual level anymoreand then only that time government should really be worry isn’t it?

And then about the “second life”, there’s another movie talking about it which I watched it very long time ago(maybe when I was in primary time?), people in the future can sort of inject their soul into internet and wherever the internet can reach, they can access to. All people digitalise their soul and life into the digital world to persuit everlasting life? But in “Matrix”, the government is the main power to control everything and then the whole world living in the ‘not-really-exist’ world. There got no everlasting long life, but human spend whole life time in dream... 'digital restrict' and 'internet control the masse' mentioned by charlie, are those actually the foreseen that we all heading to it?

to lee, yes i think it would be a great idea if we all can watch together. (=

and so sorry that i was sick these few days so that now only got to read the blog.

Traveling without moving

In response to Lees video. I like the contrast between the sound and the visual. It creates an something unusual. The progression from the birdsong to the electronic sounds suggests progression or movement through time?? Development...

The idea about our temporal western society needs to have a destination. I agree with this. I believe whether its a secular society or not we as humans need to have purpose, to get somewhere, or to achieve something.. If we didn't life does become nihilistic and meaningless...

Talking about the anticipation of a journey...

Each in intersecting "mobility" presupposes a "system". These systems make possible movement: they provide "spaces of anticipation" that the journey can be made, that the message will get through, that the parcel will arrive.- john urry mobility

My initial blog was addressing the issue of the internet and how we interact with it now. "We are what we share..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiP79vYsfbo

In a previous blog I spoke about the internet and how we control it. Governments are scared..The internet is an amazing tool to communicate, to share ideas to start a revolution.. It gives us all the ability to promote our ideologies.

We are all very dependent on it. It is a space that WE can all go to.. However it is strange because it doesn't actually exist...??

How far will our technology go?

I believe the internet is threatening life as we know it.

Will we all eventually be content with sitting in front of a computer screen? or being engaged or connected somehow??

We can do almost everything from the computer screen.... Will we become so content that eventually we will only embark on our "journey" on a virtual level, in this parallel universe?? Has everyone heard of second life

We could live and experience in this virtual world.

You could say we would be traveling without moving?? ?
