The
third fase
Forme
di sapere che stiamo perdendo
Raffaele Simone - Edizioni Laterza
pag.149
In
these times of ours we are quickly changing our approach to acknowledgment.
In
the acknowledgment history, after the phase of the writing, after the
press era we have landed to the one the author defines the third phase
of television and computer.
Television,
established as a household appliance for diversion, really proved to
be the most powerful thought school man could ever attend.
Acknowledgments are not conveyed anymore by the operation of reading
or writing, but reach us from the video, along with the whole suggestion
the image brings with itself.
The telephone itself is becoming ever more a source of information and
it’s evolving at the light speed. Book lost the supremacy in acknowledgment.
Man’s learning won’t be the same anymore.
It will change our way to build acknowledgments, our way to communicate
and to mean the communication of what we know and want to know. But
which way is it realizing all that? How much of the old system, maybe
renewed by a good make-up will it possible to move with us into this
epochal revolution?
What instead are we are leaving inescapably behind us as a beautiful
sunset whose light quenches slowly in the night?
It
is right to frame well the problem with the help of professor Raffaele
Simone, regular of linguistics at the Roma Tre university, who knows
how to lead us in a competent and agile way along a path where everything
seems natural, but it is not.
A really useful text for whom attends perplex to the change the epistolary
style suffered since the e mail replaced the old letter, compelling
words to restraint, phrases to compress and codes to multiply infinitively.
An illuminating text about the generational gap that stops the dialogue
among professors, still anchored to the logic-tight rational analysis,
and boys plunged in the more soften atmosphere, allusive, emotionally
strong, better expressed by the notes of their music.
The
changes in learning that are being carried out have the charm of the
paradox: in a world where it spreads like wildfire the virtual reality
of the sense of sight here it is that among individuals it established
an implicit communication preferring the indirect evocation, the transmission
of experiences and not of speeches, the return to the myth of the Great
Mother Earth of all men, slaves or not of the modern learning forms.
