The slinky was invented by an engineer... all those those studies blooming into a toy!
The Internet is kind of the same, a serious thing turned into a toy by the millions of people that give it this purpose. it is the most versatile toy ever... its only flaw is that it cannot be felt, touched, it is mono dimensional.
Probably some serious adults are planning right now to confiscate it, one way or another...
Aren't toys always used as a means to condition the kids who became too independent?
Yet it will remain in our lives or in our memory as the greatest toy ever made... at least in the minds of those who were childish enough to take it as such, for laughs, pictures, games and stories.
It Chaucer was saying in Napoleon of Notting Hill that God may have created the world as a joke, yet the people transformed it by taking the joke seriously... then the Internet might have been created as a serious matter by some grumpy adults, yet it has been transformed by the childish of us into a toy...
Happy New Year 2013, lots of laughs and play nicely!

As predicted...
As predicted by myself, of course, the blog is starting to be abandoned. A bit. By myself, again. But not yet completely...
I was trying desperately to find online a sort of central knot of daily informations, gathered by another criteria than the usual in any newspaper online. Not in an "everything" section, which spreads further in "culture", "politics", "science" sections...
This type of separation is classical and outdated, now we could easily establish links daily between the financial events, the artistic ones, the science progress in the day X...why don't we? By we, of course, I mean somebody else than me:). Someone with the skills and the means to make a new era daily everything site. Or sites.
Of course such a virtual place could not include everything important, so why not make a few, like the video rentals used to have " John's pick" or "Andy's pick". Some different types of choosers would sort the relevant events and put them in virtual boxes, then allow themselves to also pick a theme or conclusion of that day.
And me, or my grandpa, or my younger cousin could follow one of those options, and still form a pertinent idea of how today felt around the world...
Maybe there are such sites, comfy, yet informative...Are there?
