Comment Everything under control, me too! (Score 1) 276
Hi, folks!
The fact of being controlled over the internet or not makes me a bit amused. Why? Because for the things I do in my quiet prototype day, anyone controlling me would be simply... wasting his time!
To be serious, as somebody has just written, anonymity is a myth. Freedom too. It seems that human beings have great fun in building their own cages. The objection now could be that even in a game you need rules. Can rules make the game better? Maybe. Anyway I keep in mind that nothing is good or bad in itself: it depends on the USE you make of it. So, what really makes me angry is not CONTROL, but INTERFERENCE: this is the worst consequence of a nasty sort of control. This is the great danger, because I can't control who's controlling me. My zen conclusion is: for control the cure is indifference, for interference there's one verb, "disconnect."
