It is very easy today for everyone to claim himself a journalist. You just have to creat a blog and post something every day on it about actuality, that doesn't make you a journalist. So what does?
A good journalist online should be a journalist as professional, that means, as ethic and serious in his job as a journalist in a standard newspaper redaction. It should, specially on the web, check his sources. You can find all kind of information on the web, but a good journalist should always call the people who wrote those informations and never quote a anonymous article. He should also use the user generated content on the internet but with the attention that we have just discussed. There is a lot of videos and images produced by internet users that are valid for professional publications, it is just more difficult to know if those images and videos are true and how they had been taken. A journalist should not use a video that he will not have shot himself.

New technologies in 2050
From what we can see today, it is possible to imagine what will be the new technologies in 2050.
One of the most progressiv fields should be medicine. The longevity of human kind should increase enormously. We can also expect that it will be only the richs who could benefit from those progress.
The computers will surely be more and more like shelf, and become more and more thin and may be flexible like paper.
We can imagine the new computers more like newpapers that will change of content.
May be smartphone will be directly grafted on our body.

ROBOTS IN WAR
The new technological development in war is the use of robots. Some of theme are tested in Afghanistan like this robot:
Quite scary. It looks more like a starwars robot isn't it? We can imagine the uses of this technology during war, this robot can carry more than one undred and forty kilos, and it will be very simple to put on him a machine gun... It is particulary the war in Irak, mostly urbain, that push the military to develop robots, to have eyes everywere. Robots can allow soldiers to fight without danger, they can be far away to the front, controlling a robot ans killing soldiers like in a video game. Some soldiers are already saying that they feel like in a video game in combat, mostly because, they are often very young people and they do play videogames and war games. But by depersonalizing the war, we erase all human consciousness.

a bit of google in your fridge
In parternship with LG, Google is now coming with a new product, quite different from what we are used to. You have to move from your office to your kitchen to find it. A fridge connected to internet...
Google offer a fridge with a screen in front that indicates if something is missing for example, or even if the expiration date is coming soon...It can also suggest recipes with what is left on your fridge. And, of course, you can order directly from your fridge the products that missing. The fridge is making hitself the list and you can valid it or put something on or off the list. But this incredible fridge is not stopping to the kitchen. If you have a smart phone, it can also see the restaurants you like and understand your tastes and suggest produces in adequation with it, or if you follow a diet, your fridge will order only things that are good for you.
Like everything that google do, this system will be finance by advertisement...So we can imagine that food advertisement will be soon directly on your fridge, where you can order it, it is almost a direct materialization of your whishes...

The ten commandments on the Internet
1. You don't win anything on the Internet! If you receive a note saying you are the 10 000th visitor on the website and you won an Iphone 4S, careful! I am personally almost every day the 10 000th visitor of a website, and i'm not that lucky.
2. Be a good liar. If you plan to say your boss that you feel sick so you can go on a weekend, be sure that nobody will take pictures of you during this weekend, because they will be soon on your facebook or your twitter, or check your trimming on those website so your boss will not be able to see them.
3. You have to like cats, forget this, love cats, cause ythey are the ones who really control the Internet.
4. If you have a cold, don't go checking what you can do, you will discover a new tumor that you did not suspect.
5. If you have a tendency to listen the conspiracy theories may be Internet isn't a place for you.you. You will very soon be sure to be a subversive underground journalist when you are actually just a very naive person.
6. You shall watch 72 minutes of video and the number of minutes you can watch shall be 72.
7. your computer is not your girlfriend.
8. if you have good hopes for human kind, don't go on chatroulette.
9. Everything that happens on the Internet will stay on the Internet, so think twice before you post something.
10. be patient...

UW1
I would like to use this post to talk to you about one of my favorit strip cartoon. If you like science fiction, this will be your next favorit too. Universal War One is a story in three volumes about the first conflict in space. It is, as it often the case in science fiction, a kind of a parody of our political history pushed to the extreme. But if it's taking a political opinion, UW1 is before any thing else a beautiful tale in space. One of the main topics is the time travel, and it is fascinating to see how accurately the subject is approach, scientifically and narratively. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of universe.
