E-books have no future

Everybody is presenting the arrival of e-books on the market as a new revolution. A technological revolution for culture which will reinvent our reading habits...It’s a fact and we can’t give up to these new cultural practices. But, to my mind, the problem comes from the reading aid itself. In fact, the question is the following: why people would buy an expensive machine just to read books while they could do it with their mobile phone ?

I-phone, and smart phones in general, are already offering this kind of services and a lot of people have used it for so many time. Nowadays people are used to using multimedias stuff, so why should they go back to “monomedias” ? That is the reason why e-books have no future.

Actually, there is a website which proposes a new kind of literature : www.smartnovel.com. Here you can buy some “roman-feuilletons” (serial novels for english speakers) especially designed for mobile phones. Some stories are written by famous authors and each of us are fascinating and well-writting.

10 rules to survive on the Internet

I have just come across a little video, a little simplistic but well directed, which reminds us the five essential rules of good behaviour on Facebook. I would apply them to every e-publishing system. Whatever the website you are using, whatever the security system, you have to be careful! Never post any document which could harm somebody or your own image, today or in the future.

French TV against cyber criminality !

Cyber crime, according to computer security specialists, is similar to the traditional crime, can adopt many forms and take place at any place or any time. Cyber criminals bound to such crime employ a variety of methods based on their expertise as well as their aim.

At the moment it does not exist any international law about cyber criminality. So a hacker would be able to access to a foreign computer system without being bother by the justice. Moreover there is no special group of control on the Internet and the police seems powerless in front of this serious problem.

To my mind it would be interesting to create a sort of Internet patrol to protect citizens against cyber criminals. This patrol could be composed of ex-hackers who want to redeem themselves. I think hackers could become a new weapon in the service of good, more efficient than simple police because they know everything about hacking techniques and how to find evil-minded people on the networks.
