]]> Comment on Where have all the Latino bookstores gone? by Edi http://editorialcampana.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/where-have-all-the-latino-bookstores-gone/#comment-238 Edi Mon, 04 May 2009 02:29:55 +0000 http://editorialcampana.wordpress.com/?p=111#comment-238 Lo que sucede, como todo negocio, es que cuando no hay ventas, el negocio se tiene que cerrar. No hay otra respuesta. Por mas bonito que sea el lugar, al dueño tiene que llegarle dinero para pagar: Empleados, arbitrios, renta, productos, etc, y su ganancia, asi como también que le de tiempo libre para compensar el trabajo en el negocio, como todo. Nosotros como hispanos debemos aprender a tener fe en los negocios, comprar que en otras palabras quiere decir: COMPARTIR. Si no tenemos fe, no compramos, o si compramos miramos con mala cara al vendedor que se lleva los reales o pensamos que es un rico inmerecedor. Esa mentalidad tiene que cambiar porque a la larga trae la relidad: Falta de empleo, no cultura, nada que distraerse, etc. Tenemos que cambiar tambien lo 'bonito y barato' o "deme una rebaja". Si un producto tiene un precio es porque no nos vienen a robar sino es el precio justo que calculó el empresario. Si el empresario hizo mal, el o ella tendrán sus lecciones aparte. Otra cosa es que entre latinos tenemos una desleal competencia: Competimos con los precios mas baratos y no por la calidad del servicio, de esa manera nos matamos el uno al otro. Respetemos, bendigamos a los negocios, esa es mi opinión. Y la otra opinion como comprador es: Actuemos como ricos, es decir con fe que estamos compartiendo, esa es la planta.

]]> Comment on The Kindly Ones may be big gamble for publisher. by Carolyn http://editorialcampana.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/the-kindly-ones-may-be-big-gamble-for-publisher/#comment-229 Carolyn Mon, 30 Mar 2009 04:51:30 +0000 http://editorialcampana.wordpress.com/?p=302#comment-229 How the author manages to sustain the reader's attention through dozens of pages of dense exposition on linguistics and cultural anthropology is beyond me, but he does so while never letting us lose sight of the fact (as the officers debating these subtleties most certainly have) that very human lives hang in the balance. And while the SS and the Wehrmacht bicker about whether the Caucasian Bergjuden should be purged, Rome burns and the war is being lost. How critics of this book fail toappreciate the author's stunning breadth of knowledge, the power and deep irony in his writing is equally beyond me.

This shows the deep impact of Google on our culture and our lives. But Google is not primarily about searching. Google is an information shovel selling adds. As to prominent linguists like Arbib and Lakoff mirror neurons explain the adaptive evolution of the human language faculty and the development of conceptual knowledge (Arbib, 2005; Gallese, Lakoff, 2007). The problem is our easy and accepting relationship with Google. We are geesing at Google and engage with it more and more every day, uncritically unthinkingly. Siva Vaidhyanathan is concerned about the fact that: <blockquote>"....we do not properly understand the nature of the nature of the transaction between us and Google. ...into our relationship with Google we do not grasp that we are not really Google's costumers. Google calls us users, but in fact we are Google's products. Our attention is what Google sells to its customers, which are the advertisers." (<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/7954812.stm" rel="nofollow">BBC interview</a>)</blockquote> The thesis I want to develop here is that by using Google we stop developing our conceptual knowledge. Googling is not an intelligent information search strategy. But we are always communicating something.
