Internet
The Internet devalues written knowledge – books, speech, opinions. The Internet devalues visual creativity – paintings, films, drawings.
All of this is becoming affordable – but what is affordable has a lower price tag. A leaf of a tree outside your window – how much does it cost? Nothing at all. It's available.
But for a leaf of a tree from somewhere from other side of the globe, you can already get a price from some collector, chemist or botanist.
We are all drawn to the rare and difficult to access. It has value and weight – something unique. Something that is difficult to repeat, copy, get.
What we value we make less accessible to others. We lay hands on, we keep, protect and preserve.
The Internet, in fact, is a technology for copying certain forms and types of information. A large copier that makes information accessible.
If you want to devalue something, post it on the Internet.
The Internet also has its advantages. Thanks to it, all the Internet users are like neighbors; looking at the browser screen, we look as if in one window.
If you want to show something, convey something to everyone, post it on the Internet. Yes, it could lose some value. But it will become obvious.
The Internet is a giant mouthpiece. It is suitable for making some kind of announcement.
Shout out.
The Internet is a beautiful folding-screen. And you can't put everything here.
There must be something behind the screen. Otherwise, the posted will remain ... on the Internet. Devalued, screaming across thousands of minds.
The less often you speak, the more they listen to you. The Internet – this huge copier and giant mouthpiece – teaches you to be silent about the main thing. Because by virtue of its device it is intended only for one thing.
