The Web and Us: We, the Web Kids (by Piotr Czersky)

I think that the following thoughts by a Polish poet born in 1981 are a powerful depiction of how Internet has changed our way thinking and is shaping our system of values and believes. No doubts, it could be said that they portrait a positive analysis of the attitudes of the so-called digital natives. But I share the view (who enters in that We?) that this is not happening only to people born around 1980: the Web Kids may have gray hair too. Be that as it may, the facts explored in this analysis tend to acquire a normative value when one thinks to many legal concepts that are under strain since the advent of digital technology.

WE, THE WEB KIDS.
(translated by Marta Szreder)

There is probably no other word that would be as overused in the media discourse as ‘generation’. I once tried to count the ‘generations’ that have been proclaimed in the past ten years, since the well-known article about the so-called ‘Generation Nothing’; I believe there were as many as twelve. They all had one thing in common: they only existed on paper. Reality never provided us with a single tangible, meaningful, unforgettable impulse, the common experience of which would forever distinguish us from the previous generations. We had been looking for it, but instead the groundbreaking change came unnoticed, along with cable TV, mobile phones, and, most of all, Internet access. It is only today that we can fully comprehend how much has changed during the past fifteen years.

Rileggendo Charles W. Elliot, di Umberto Izzo

Poco più di un secolo fa l’uomo che in qualche decennio aveva saputo trasformare un provinciale college bostoniano nell’università leader della scena accademica statunitense, destinata a diventare il centro di eccellenza mondiale a cui oggi si attribuisce valenza paradigmatica in via quasi discorsiva (…è di Harvard, ha studiato ad Harvard…) distillò le sue idee sul concetto di libertà accademica in un editoriale apparso sulle colonne di quella che, allora come oggi, era una delle più prestigiose riviste scientifiche del mondo (C. W. Eliot, Academic Freedom, Science, Vol. 26, N. 653, July 5, 1907)...
