"'Pazzi" (1982) Tango de Chico Novarro

page 54 of the newspaper "Clarín" of October 15, 2010 is entitled "Argentines, fifth in the use of social networks" , I comment on that "gray hair" that ultimately spread to computer. is used in three sites: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, where users can communicate with their colleagues through written messages, share photos, music, videos. The Facebook was created in 2004 and has in our country thirteen million accounts, while Twitter generated in 2006 brings to five hundred thousand adherents among them, some public officials and to the President of the Nation itself. Facebook is the most widely used network in the world, Twitter is an ideal short message system for political debates, while LinkedIn is a social environment for business and professional relationships. A forecast the arrival of a new civilization, digitalis, which would displace what generated the book and the letters written on paper. is a latent doubts about the fate of words but, Umberto Ecco has a prophecy: "The books will survive, as the wheel and the bucket" ...

a convention for members of a network are now called "friends" once who apply and are accepted by others. Research Journal did the Argentines have found that an average of 183 friends each, are "virtual friends" rather than those of our time: "in good times and bad." This activity is driven mostly by young adults in search of an ID and this mode of relating. These social networks in general bring together people with common interests and possible reunion with family or friends not seen for a long time. has also installed a form of daily communication and informal, with a very particular spelling, which partly replaced the telephone and left to the memory of postal items. One of the most relevant data of the study states that a portion of the population still lacks access to the Internet from home, so call centers have been established and some public spaces that system. can say that this new technology like cell phones as well as its purpose to facilitate communication between people, has an attractive pastime.

But my intention is different: try investigating the existence or not of social networks in times past, when the computer has not prevailed, ie the "age of the abacus." I hasten to end the suspense: yes, and had a more humane, durable, warm, direct contact through words and gestures of solidarity. In the time it exercised the "gauchos" are unaware they are called, were established by use and custom and facilitated in its operation because it has not been installed in society the "scourge" of mistrust.

One of those basic network was the family that was strengthened by the large homes that housed generations. Without a formal regulation, the usual possible to establish primary functions of each family member. With a gesture of sacrifice and total surrender, there were relatives who resigned their personal projects effect of caring for aging relatives, sick or newborn . The presence of grandparents, uncles, brothers-in, sponsors, and other links, although some discussions, "tenement", were a model of community living. They were unaware that a strong social fabric.

In the time which was fixed in my memory, there was no significant mobility in society. One was born at home and throughout the course of life was spent in the neighborhood. So neighbors were people rooted to the land and as there were links between children of the same, the network is amplified. As the medians were low and drank cool and information taking chairs to the front door, no one worried about sending messages. were submitted only by mail or accessories messengers postcards and letters, some perfumed with amorous intentions.

The corner bar, those "soul mates" that you were to exercise a loyalty in friendship, also warned that formed a social group. The lecture given by their "teachers" also included: elementary notions about sex, the practice of solidarity, the conduct to the laws of the arcade game, the first steps in the tango, the group identified the whistle until how to place your lips to make rings with cigarette smoke ...

The social fabric of those days was consolidated with other beloved characters: the teachers, family doctors, members of the cooperative school, the corner grocer, the parish priest, the midwife who attended to our mothers , the apothecary of master recipes, dentist low speed lathe, building society, the postman, the policeman on the block ...

addition to our elders was at that time, two professions of the members of the neighborhood community that we are influenced and marked the path of good: teachers and doctors. Now I ask you remember who helped him become what they are, while I pay my gratitude to Dr. Carlos J. Carnelli, my family physician whose office was in the street Maure 3859 and the Master of Sixth Grade School for Boys, today, "Dr. Luis Agote "street Jorge Newbery 3664: Mr. Alberto Valerga, Rosetti street neighbor at 400 ...
