After seeing the movie 'The Matrix', Philip Rosedale started a dot-com company in 1999 and attempted to build a full-body virtual reality rig. He soon pivoted to creating a virtual world on the Web. To this day, he's still come closer to creating the metaverse than Mark Zuckerberg ever will... https://cybercultural.com/p/second-life-metaverse-1999/ #InternetHistory #Metaverse #TheMatrix

La clave es la ficción
Comparto un texto sobre el que estuve trabajando los últimos meses y que fui publicando por partes en mi blog. Lleva por título: “La clave es la ficción. De Matrix a Milei: decodificando la subjetividad neoliberal”. Suena un poco grandilocuente, pero se trata realmente de una síntesis súper concreta de la temática abordada.
Es un intento - el mío - por comprender cómo llegamos a Milei (y otros casos similares alrededor del mundo) y sobre todo, por qué. Al mismo tiempo pretende ser un aporte a la reflexión y el debate sobre nuestras formas de habitar y pensar el mundo.

When I look at #logfiles or #mailheaders, I often feel like being the young, "naturally born" #hacker (i.e. not having a "port") from the movie #TheMatrix, pointing to a screen where you can see green characters falling down and he's pointing to them saying "Look at that women in the red dress!"
https://www.wired.com/story/matrix-best-hacker-movie/ lists some more such cases.
BTW, that's what IMHO is a #DigitalNative, not those teenagers living on their smartphones but having no idea on whose computers their data is on. 🤓
