speak to the cyber home: Metro Olografix formed the association and want to be known
is now part of everyday language. They talk about it all. And is required to pretend to understand something. But it is a, bluff. The computer world is a mysterious object in Pescara. Informatics, telematics, BBS, Internet: magical words which conjure up remote and urban myths and realities that often hide a lack of knowledge. Those which do if they really intend to agree on this: here we are at year zero. "Do not be fooled by the many computer shops and dozens of magazines on display at newsstands - says Dry Omar De Simone, owner of a BBS, a bulletin board and founder of a cultural association telematics - Here the computer is underutilized. It is used at home or at work to write, to handle small files. and to play. But no more. In short it's sister the great potential, the ability to communicate. "Yet just buy a modem (cost 500,000 pounds or less) and connect to the phone line at home that suffered incredible open horizons, full of wonders to be discovered. For addcntrarsi in this world there are several possibilities. The most famous is the Internet. The most common definition and impressive, especially for those who love culture "On the Road," is that of highway computer. Traveling the highway on which mcssaggi spcditi opcratori by the computer looking for and offer information of all kinds. In fact the Internet is a big, huge in fact, computer network consists of over 5,000 separate networks and nearly four hundred thousand nodes or access points. The Internet is also the first real library world and the most important meeting place and discussion among the people. Every day around the world will be connecting hundreds of thousands of people. Overall, consumers millions. Pescara But those who know how to travel on the Internet and that they do indeed have four cats. Apart from the universities and some professional cybernauts, as someone calls them and surround them with an aura of fantascicntifico mystery, are few. True pioneers of electronic, often young CHC did not let themselves be discouraged by difficulties' economic nor a technical one. Yes, because IT and tclematica (the ability to communicate via computer from a distance) require intellectual work: they must study at least a bit '. And heater it will take patience and persistence. "The growing interest and much pero'sta - explains Antonio Salini, technical manager ComputerDiscount - Before no one came to ask for information on the Internet, over the past two months but is almost a boom. Thanks especially to newspapers and TV , who always speak of more or who use such as real-time transmission of Santoro. " But what do they seek the Pescara already sailing in the Internet? "Hard to say - answers Salini - It 's all so new. Many of them are still at an early stage and have yet to learn about the world electronically. Typically seek technical information and programs on your computer. " "Our few subscribers Pescara, a few dozen, primarily using electronic mail - includes Mayor Lorenzo, manager of Galactica, a company in Milan that a node has access to the Internet even in this city and offers a range of telematic services - Each of our subscriber has a mailbox which sends and receives messages from around the world. Several also participate in the newsgroups. Actual conference public where everyone can take action by writing their opinions or asking questions. I have thousands and treat a wide variety of topics: from computer science to politics, sex and hobbies. And then there are DUI services, called Telnet and FTP that allow you to connect with archives, libraries, newspapers and even prelevarc programs. Even these are fairly used. Besides there are also Internet BBS, which are electronic bulletin boards. In Pescara, there are fewer than a dozen. "Use a bulletin board is a way to communicate - De Simone said - my, it's called Memphis, is connected with the major Italian network, such as. Fidonet, Cybernet, PNET PNET in, for example, writes of the Heart redaiione It 's a network where they are processed issues such as voluntary associations therapeutic. There are even allowed some prisons. Now Omar De Simone. together with other friends like Stephen Chiccarelli, owner of BBS "Neuromancer," has a fixed idea: to take off even in the telematic culture Pescarese This constituted a cultural association, the Metro 0lografix, the name of a bar that appears in that tells a story of cyberspace. "Our aim - said sure - and 'to introduce here also the real possibility of telematics. We are not pirates, nor people in search of income. We are fifteen members and soon we will present formally to Pescara. "
