LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
By Art Tibaldo

We live and travel in a physical world and surf or roam in a digital world.

In a physical world, we need a passport and a visa to move around its continents. We also need police clearances, tax certificates and mug shots to be able to get passports.

In a digital world, all we need is the knowledge and the access to information infrastructures that we can navigate in order to virtually reach different parts of the planet. Instead of a passport, what we need to be interconnected is a password.

In a physical world, we use brain power and physical prowess to go about our day-to-day challenges and tasks.

In a digital world, we employ artificial intelligence to make things a lot easier for us.
Many of us live in both worlds awakened by the reality that we need to co-exist as it is the way to live in this new millennium.
Engineers today use global positioning systems to measure lengths, heights and distances. Surgeons use laser beams and fiber optics to visualize internal organs for precision cutting. War combatants monitor enemies using satellite feeds and attack with unmanned aircrafts.
The Buggles can no longer sing “video killed the radio star” because a crack MTV goes…“internet killed the video star”.

The internet has been with us for about two decades now. In April 1996, 19-year-old Jennifer Ringley installed a webcam in her college dorm room and provided images from that cam on her webpage www.jennicam.com that soon had the world ogling at her. Miss Ringley died in 2003 and her legacy continues with cyber stars like Ana Voog of www.anacam.com. Today, many webcams are positioned in many cities like Paris, Manhattan, Ontario etc. and a check on NASA's portal can lead to a realtime view of the earth.
E-mail, e-commerce, e-learning and even cyberporn have changed the way we look at things and relate with others. We can now use our computers and mobile phones to produce video shows, upload and publish ourselves using cool sites such as friendster, youtube, myspace, shutterfly and other service providers like www.multiply.com.
In my recent talk with about 800 pupils attending CMLI's 28th Annual National Grade School Convention in Baguio, I asked the elementary graders if they have friendster accounts and most of them if not all blurted a resounding yes. Knowing that one has to be at least 18 years of age before anyone can register, I concluded and many agreed that they faked their ages except those who sought their parent's permission. Even my 14 year old daughter admitted to have declared herself as 81.

In this age of globalization and all those jazz about interconnectivity, access to people, places and institutions has become within our easy reach. If millions have endeavored to communicate using these modern means, there is no reason therefore why others must lurk in the dark cursing those who can get connected and avail these accesses with their finger tips.

In a digital environment, you don't have to declare your age, sex, religion and you don't even have to consult your spouse or partner in anything that you do in this virtual world. But, in a physical world, you have to live life just as what your parents taught you when you were young. And if you are mature enough to understand how television producers, computer programmers and media moguls are shaping you into, you have to face the next stage and that is…HOW TO UNBECOME A NERD.
