Mikhail Maccoon: "From the isolated essence of the Internet, it became a highway, which is ensured by all other being"

“When Vladimir Putin talks about the Internet, we immediately hear three truths, one of the other out: firstly, the Russian president does not use the Internet and is very poorly imagined that it is. Secondly, for this reason, interested citizens can sell him any nonsense, from a“ sovereign Runet ” -to the“ state “Wikipedia” . Thirdly, this whole situation characterizes Vladimir Vladimirovich not a conservative, not orthodox, she is not about life views, she is about illiteracy and the basic discrepancy between his position, ”the publicist writes on his Facebook page.

"An important Internet metamorphosis from the second half of the zero - from a life -consumer, such a striker or extenshon for a relatively advanced public - it has become a component. Every year, a list of everyday algorithms in which the Internet is optional - compressed.

Like any other large revolution of the Internet in any task, the stages: “can”, “preferably” and “impossible”. In 2005, it was possible to rent an apartment over the Internet, in 2010 it is desirable to have the Internet for renting an apartment, in 2019 it is impossible to rent an apartment, bypassing the Internet. When you abandon the Internet today, you are actually not in the "pre -Internet" era, you fall into the world where you do not have the Internet, but the whole infrastructure that has replaced it twenty years ago - already, largely, dismantled.

A very simple case that everyone will encounter in life: you need to find out the train schedule, train, long -distance bus. What did you do twenty years ago? They opened a directory lying on the telephone, searched for a telephone of the corresponding transport hub in it, and received all the necessary certificate on the call. Today, even if by some miracle you have a telephone table with a directory - it is not a fact that the declared phone will answer at all and answer something more intelligible than you look at our website.

You needed a notary, shoemaker, hairdresser, television repair - you called 09 to a single city reference, from where you received the necessary contact. Today, this whole system is tilted for absolute meaninglessness.

Even 5-6 years ago, as soon as you raise your hand at the side of the road - to the call, crossing five rows of traffic jams, flew a dozen cabmen for every taste. Today (checked in St. Petersburg on your own skin) with a discharged smartphone - it is much better to find a cafe with a socket than to freeze in the pose of Vladimir Ilyich on the pedestal.

Why is it appropriate to compare with illiteracy? In the city of the late XIX - early XX centuries, during the period of the first urbanization - you could not be able to read and write. Simple literacy was a separate skill. The skill is desirable, simplifying life, but the entire infrastructure was sharpened that its average consumer would not read the “bakery” sign, it must be duplicated with large curly tangles (yes, this was not done for beauty). There were special people that their literacy was monetized - for a small money they read letters to you and compiled petitions.

Learn to read today - you will not return to the blessed 1895. There is no more infrastructure to support illiteracy. By default, the world assumes that the courier’s notnsibleshon took the order in the restaurant and will be with you until 19:30 ” - you will understand without presenting the comic book. Today's dentist will not give an ad to the newspaper, as he would make 15 years ago. He knows that each of his clients are looking for where to pull out a sick tooth, it is through the Internet and nothing else.

From the isolated essence of the Internet, it has become a highway, which is always there, which is suspended, which is provided with all other being. For everyone. In addition to the most influential official of the country. "
