Growing means pain. When we are kids, we dream about growing up, about the day when we will, finally, become “big”. In life, we are always looking for growing up. Get a better job, a better social position, a senior status, a “big” label under our name. But then, when we grow, we hope for the days with less worries, less responsabilities, less complex problems. Yes, growing up only means we get more capable of performing more tasks and success means that we succeed in taking more weight to longer distances. In the web, growing up means that you are present in many social works, several blogs, microblogs, instant message programs, etc etc etc. And, of course, that you keep up with many websites, news, micro updates, and lots of very very interesting information available, at one click. Well, in the web, growing up means that you have the very complex task of being burried in information. And, at some point, getting online in all the “must” platforms actually takes you more time then the production of interesting contents itself. Do you ever feel like shutting down the computer and go back to the simple and traditional “reading a book”? I do. 

Thank you Halden, for making my life so much easier. Today, I go to sleep with all my websites in one, all my instant messengers in one, all my social networks in one. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to my precious contents. Because the web is a mean, not an end:)
