Some of my songs (early 90s) :)

February 14th, 2010

Finally a dream come true :)

This is part of what I was doing in the early 90s :) Actually this is my first song (music, lyric, arrangement, all made by myself)… and of course also the voice is mine! (sorry for that) :) hehe ^_^ Hope you enjoy it (actually at that time this song was a small local success… all people around were singing and whistling my song) :)
Ciao :)

if you are still alive (and not laughing too much after the one above), you are entitled to try and listening also the second song of my life :)

Last Year (2008), during a party in London, I met two wonderful guys (friends of friends) who would have soon become very good friends of mine :)

All started between few glasses of lovely red wine. I was introduced to these two great Japanese guys by my Italian friend.

Has the internet made “the surveillance society” inevitable?

November 19th, 2009

This article was originally published in May 2008.

There are 1,319,872,109 internet users in the world [1], and most of them are not perfectly aware of “the surveillance society”, of its laws and regulations. When protection against terrorism and personal safety are involved, people accept the notion of a surveillance society, however when the focus shifts onto personal privacy and anonymity, this perspective tends to change. This essay explores some of the aspects of surveillance society in relation to the internet, first of all highlighting who watches who, how the surveillance happens, positive and negative points of view and finally, how to deal with the surveillance society.

To be under surveillance means having information about one’s movements and activities recorded by technologies, on behalf of the organisations and governments that structure our society. This information is then sorted, sifted and categorised, and used as a basis for decisions which affect our life chances. Such decisions concern our entitlement and access to benefits, work, products and services and criminal justice; our health and well-being and our movement through public and private spaces.” [2].
