TV was considered to be the most important invention of the last 100 years? In the previous century the invention of TV involved a lot of changes in our lives. It was a big step forward the transformation of the world in a global village. Thanks to this new communications medium people had the possibility of watch through this magical window the way other people live, even if they are very far. Common people could be reached very easily in order to spread any kind of information. Italy for example is a set of very different cultures and languages. After this invention people were pushed to speak less in dialect and more in formal Italian. In some little field of the life they started to have a common cultural identity. Even, thanks to TV, they started to celebrate the feast of Halloween, only because they were used to see it on American movies. Before of that we could just care about things that were happening close to the place where we lived, after we started to be bombed from news of all the world. But I think that there is another invention that like the TV and more than that changed our life: internet. It was born in the military field to allow soldiers to communicate easier, but they found out that this net could be potentially exploited in unlimited ways. Unlike the TV, that could be used from people only passively, that is only a few people who work on TV could choose what to show, internet is used from users actively. Everyone can share any information almost without any filter. Furthermore through internet you can call, watch TV, listen to the radio, read newspaper and much more then this: you can go shopping, meet people, find a job and any specific information you need. It's a platform were men have been building a new parallel and virtual world that is influencing more and more our real life for better or for worse, it depends on how we use it.

Molto bene, auguri! Marshal McLuhan said tv had turned the world into a global village, but Jonathan Miller (not me, qualcuno altro) said this was not so because in a viklage people can talk back. JM would agree the internet has mede the world a global village.
