WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A NON-EDITED AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH

The present development, aspires to carry out considerations linking the following three concepts.

• "Only in the extensive mark of the coexistence, the free personality can take place";
• " Internet is a tool comunicacional", and
• " To create outlying systems to ride on an evolution that the history and the nature relentless tornan."

If we accept that Internet is an ingredient of the constellation of the technologies of the knowledge and the information, we can affirm that: "The technologies of the knowledge and the information (from now on TICs) they are tools comunicacionales."

Considering becoming human as evolutionary, we dare to affirm that the TICs has incorporated to the humanity's vital fluencia with irreversibilidad character. Of there the possibility is continued of being able to design outlines or methodologies that allow to take out profit of that technological incorporation that I eat in its moment he/she made them the printing it also contributes to amplify the human communication. Because in it finishes instance it is tools so that the human beings communicate freely, if they want this way it. And it is not the only tools, but of a tool more. And if like we assume above, the communication that is, also in it finishes instance coexistence, it can contribute to produce free personalities, then the importance is continued of adopting creative attitudes before the dynamics for overpowering moments of the TICs.

Said in other terms the Tics, they amplify the communication possibilities of who you/they want this way to make it. Some opinions, sustained in surveys, notice about that the Tics, and particularly Internet, they can consolidate isolation attitudes or isolation. One could contraargumentar that if a person is prone to the isolation and the isolation, I/you/he/she considered the Tics from that existential position. Plus if it is considered to the Tics, like a tool that amplifies the possibilities comunicacionales. We can consider that: people with avidity comunicacional communicated with more people, and that people that perhaps are remiss to the direct interpersonal communication face to face, can through the Tics, and particularly of Internet, to be more predisposed to that communication type, with possibilities that come from arriving face to face in a point to a communication, or to consolidate the modality comunicacional through the Tics. The program ICQ, of distribution still gratuitous, it is an interesting reference of the growing facilities to communicate. If one of the users wants this way it, it can fill some forms with information that you/they allow them or other people, to decide to try to communicate or not with the or her. Our vivencias in that program, allows us to affirm that in the course of the sessions, it is almost safe that somebody communicated, in function of some of the informations that we have placed in the corresponding pigeonholes. Starting from there, the intercomunicación can climb so much, like settle down more likeness or compatibilities among interested people. In certain way, the letters of readers to the newspapers, the clubs of listeners", of the radiodifusoras of short wave", the radioaficionados or the listeners that call to the radiodifusoras of half and modulated width, have been " prodromos " of that that today vivenciamos in Internet. Now then, this change perhaps exponential of the human communication, he/she meets with mental structures or patterns of behavior preexistentes, many of the changes are institutionalized, and for ende having generated powerful plexos and affections y/o interests. Those structures mental institucionalizadas(Jacinto Benavente described them as created Interests"), they embrace the whole human chore. Recently, we read that Internet finishes with many intermediations". For dimensionar this concept, seems appropriate to personalize them and to say that: Internet finishes with many middlemen. From already one it can imagine that each one of those intermediarios(personas in the flesh), it didn't facilitate neither he/she will receive with joy, a technique that puts in risk, the status that he/she has been able to get. This has to do with that basic human attitude that the Italian Wilfredo Pareto labeled as " neofobia ". although an optimistic perspective of the tics, goes in her a formidable liberador of human and physical energy, susceptible of more productive employments, the realities specify of a lot of people they will make that the same ones have negative expectations with this quantum jump that plays us vivenciar, with slips of penuries for many. I believe that a lot it would be won, if they multiply the foros(existen but they are necessary more) where they leave analyzing with open spirit that implicancias has that in the middlemen involved by the swiftly growing irruption of the Tics. We are made that the biggest impacts of they will make feel in the commercialization structures, in the educational institutions, in the graphic industry - editorial. and in the work administrativo(white necklace). it is for sure collective boardings and trasndisciplinarios, will be able to incorporate other sectors or activity fringes to this list. I believe that the list up sketched, he/she can give an indication of the desaviso that we have for before. Bureaucratized intermediation structures, they will be subjected to tensions. And who see positive aspects to the Tics, we should arbitrate methods so that, inside the limitations of the human condition, attenuate the traumatic of the changes that he/she has relentlessness slips. Of there, that of mounting outlying systems to ride on the evolution. Along the human adventure, it has been seen as each incorporation of new techniques, he/she didn't make disappear totally to the preexistentes. Something similar it can happen to the Tics, but that will be done with the course of the time. What we are happened is that this jump, is of more magnitudes that the previous ones. For that reason of minimum it deserves an attitude of permanent meditation. It is clear that the Tics, cares a formidable one, liberation of human and physical energy. Of all the sublime and abject that harbors each human existence. Anyway to the receipt of the possibility comunicacional that other generations didn't know, this the possibility of the solidary coexistence and here we return to that that we consign at the beginning Preposition that: "alone in the extensive mark of the coexistence the free personality can take place". The meditation continues open....
