What is new

They have not dared in a bar, but on Instagram, on Facebook or in an email (there are also obsolete in the digital world: this email can still be from Hotmail, please note). After the first live kisses, through Whatsapp and Telegram, some caresses will reach you from your pocket and other video calls. When they look together at twilight twilight, they have not asked for desire looking at a fleeting star, but at a more striking Elon Muskiz satellite, Starlink (what some have known after some lead at home).

New technologies seem to alleviate everything. We see very little, just a part, the nicest. But we've been told by some slot that sludge comes out under the geometric mobile phone and the uniform color. Adrián Almazán reminds us in this same journal. The exploitation of Congolese children to obtain cobalt, energy expenditure, countries that we bury in waste (such as Ghana), wars, countries of all ages (United States, China), precariousness, loss of sovereignty… Everything seems pretty old.

It seemed lighter, but what is new if fears are old, if compromise was ultimately more of an anchor, and without it, if we dream the same today, what is new if desire is not going to be fulfilled, what is new if freedom is nothing, if there is no hand to get there, what is new if we pollute the new exactly the same. The news will only be names.
