It’s surprising to look for information about characters or films that have been on everyone’s lips and find practically nothing on the Internet, that space sold to us as a window to information that in just two decades has inexorably become a tangle repeated information. What’s Today The Curious (or the Industrious) navigates the stormy waters of short-paste and machine translation. The information is buried under dozens (or hundreds) of irrelevant posts in which ads for cars and prostitution leap at you, grabbing your shirt lapels and shaking you between bellows and demands. And of course, what isn’t on the internet is as if it didn’t exist.
It is surprising that when discovering information that was never up to date, the explorer can always fall back on yesterday’s blogs – almost always out of date between 2013 and 2016 – which, thanks to the interest of an anonymous scientist, are usually the original source . It is also surprising to see that in most cases where these blogs are used, there are too many colleagues who do not find it necessary to cite the original source. Thanks to the memory and free time of people we don’t know, we can better understand the popular culture that preceded us today. And despite all of this, we find ourselves in a moment unique to humankind where we have access to more information than ever before. Perhaps at this point in the text someone is wondering what all this is about. Well, it comes down to the fact that too many times I watch a series or a movie where nobody on the team (from the scriptwriters to the props, the costumes, the makeup and the hairdresser) has even thought for a moment , as it is or as it was the world they wanted to recreate. In the information age, there are those who don’t have doubts because they don’t.
