Cyberspace

Olá

(lapso)

Olá

nome, onde estou

nome, onde está

espera

(outro lapso)

O que quer?

O que diabos eu quero?

(não posso dizer isso!)

Podia mandar um poema?

Manda nudes.

E se mandasse, quem sabe, uma carta… roubada?

tem Whatsapp?

Queria afinal de contas, era poder ver

Mas não tem Facebook?

Melhor, tem Insta?

Ouvir uma música, juntos, talvez?

Compartilhei a playlist, o que achou?

no fim,

ficamos 

sem conexão

Mas, qual a senha do Wifi?

As dificuldades de definição começam pela forma de ingresso a esse espaço: na realidade não me movo para dentro dele, mas optamos entrar na internet. Onde estamos e como nos deslocamos ainda são incógnitas não completamente decifradas pela física moderna. Afinal, navegamos sem sair do lugar, e não podemos ser encontrados através de nenhuma das formas atualmente usadas para denominar endereçamento físico. Onde estamos realmente nesses espaços não físicos? Apesar de serem espaços de dados, grande parte das atividades no ciberespaço não são voltadas para a informação. “Em suma, num determinado sentido, o ciberespaço se tornou um novo domínio para a mente” (p. 170)

Declaration of Independence for the Citizens of Cyberspace

Its all about a girl

Literally a GIRL, which by the way, there is nothing wrong with being a girl, but let me explain.

Tumblr is a fantastic place, its a place were people share ideas, art, writing, and other cool things, but a lot of times tumblr is a mindless place of fangirls reblogging gifs, which is fine, but that is just not what I want in my dashboard.

So, let me tell you a little about my dash, there are constant post from an art blog, a popular science blog, a digital artist, Doctors without borders, a gay nerd, a friend and fellow, and finally the girl. Now, she is not the only girl I follow on tumblr, but she is The girl.

So let me tell you about the girl. In reality she is a stranger, in the cyber world… Well, she’s still a stranger. However, her blog is simply fantastic, I don’t believe that I have met many people (physically or in the web) that can argue their views, be it in the way of a reblog, a post, or conversation as well and simple as she does. I came across her blog when I first joined tumblr and she reblogged one of my posts, and after creeping a little through her page I was genuinely impressed by the cleverness and breeze of her posts, so I decided to follow her, waiting for that one post that would uncover her as a impostor of a bright mind, but the post never came, with every post that I saw in my dashboard I convinced myself that this girl was indeed a brilliant person (with a good sense of humor), so I decided to do a little more web creeping and went back to her blog.

So, I went to the beginning of her posts and sorted through most of them, I looked for those that told me a little about her, and finally one that mentioned her age group, and what a shock it was to discover that she is in high school! This brilliant girl was a high schooler, and my amazement grew even more when I realized that she was around 16! So, now you understand my opening sentence of “literally a girl”!  Anyway, I am delightfully surprise to follow this young mind, and to be able to admire such a person, so Esmeralda (I believe that is her name) you are an amazing mind, and thank you for a delightful blog.

Note: I will include links for the blogs I mentioned once I get on a computer
