Each day with e-culture

We discussed in our class about the principles and qualities of e-culture. And we have had to do a blog as application. Now, when you see the blogs of the students, you have a good idea about these qualities, in own blogs, and in the others blogs on the network.

In first, the transparency is a reality. At the beginning, I wasn’t convinced. But now when I’m looking for something, I realize I very often can find it. For example, you have a lot of blogs about European Constitution. The governments have had to give all text on the net, on newspapers. It wasn’t the same thing for the treaty of Maastricht. And a lot of blogs give you information very interesting. I found an article, written by a young man: he worked for the vote yes, and now, he thinks it was a mistake. He explains why. Internet offers this opportunity of transparency.

In blogs of my friends, you have too a little transparency (about motivations for example), even if some say they don’t want it! In fact, I said transparency draw a new landscape on the world.

Two other qualities are important: impermanence and precious opportunities offered on the net. I think impermanence can be a difficulty, when you aren’t sure in validity of information. On the other hand, if you have an open mind, you can extract a lot of advantages. If I take the same example of European Constitution, you can see how impermanence obliges governments, and politicians to change arguments because, when an argument is false, all people are quickly informed. For the “yes”, you have a blog actualized each day, and for the “no”, it’s the same thing! And you have too, the blog “yes and no”. All these blogs are from the same party! In fact, in politic, you have really precious opportunities.
