One of the passages that stroke (!) me most in Manuel Castells' trilogy
about the Information Society was, in the first volume (if I remember
correctly) his apposition of "the Self and the Net".
There has always been dangers that one particular occupation becomes
obsessive and claims too much, and in the end, the life, of the person -
art has a bad reputation in this respect. But the Net can turn into a
major threat to a person's well-beeing as well. May be the French dictum
(about money) is appropriate: take it as a good servant, since it is a
very bad master.
Cheers, blessed 2008 to all, patrizio and Diiiinooos!
