This week began circulating in several newspapers around the world, including in the ABC newspaper in Spain where I read the news prestige very convincing pictures on the appearance of a mysterious siren on the beaches of Veracruz, Mexico.
.
The Internet is a constant source of news and is the platform to disseminate, promote, sell, criticize and even to catch unwary.
In these days of vacation I have studied social networks and my conclusion is that they cause more fear than I like.
I began by analyzing the "youtubers" or bloggers, a community of as rare as finding a mermaid on a beach characters. They range from educational, funny, insulting and even abnormal. The latter are most prevalent.
The ability to upload and share videos on the Internet has increased the phenomenon. They are followed by thousands of unemployed people (like me on this vacation) seeking entertainment or learning. All I found was a vulgar and confusing losers giving opinions and those who see conspiracies everywhere.
The main youtubers come from the United States, Mexico and Colombia, where the desire to be famous is instilled in many families. Grow up dreaming to be singers, models, actors, TV presenters and even comedians and the Internet is the perfect platform for those dreams, no matter to accomplish do the ridiculous, vulgaricen language, break the law and trample morality.
Everyone wants attention. Some famous supplant identities; others create fake profiles, taking advantage of the freedom and giving clandestine social networks, to insult and slander when vindictive revenge invades their hearts.
I found a blogger who advises how to have sex and getting paid for it. Another showing how pregnant without losing the boyfriend trying. Youtubers who teach steal, make bombs, to cheat, to cheat on tests and the most popular are those who give beauty tutorials, because vanity is the most common sin of the people.
And why has grown the number of these Youtubers? Because in addition to fame, earning 50 to $ 2,000 per day for the number of copies of the content.
It's easy to do. Almost all phones have cameras and those who want to look professional, buy the GoPro, a small camera popular for its low cost and quality of video. Some installed on the front panel of the cart or stand as the crown on his head, hoping to record a dangerous or humorous incident and "hang" on YouTube in order to reach thousands of "Like" and become famous.
I do not care about warnings that citizen reporter with both the craft of journalism could disappear because ensuring credibility is truthfulness.
If we believe everything we see on the Internet, Veracruz Mermaid would be a mythological legend, becoming real, not realizing it was the same as that produced for the film "Pirates of the Caribbean".Plop!
