Nice to meet you

One of the things you learn when studying English is how to present yourself and most people learn phrases such as “How do you do?” or “Hi, my name is…”. However, one thing that language teachers don’t explain is that British people very rarely use these expressions. British people are not very good at introductions in informal situations. They are not sure what to say or what do with their hands. Whereas Brazilians or Americans will confidently extend their hands to people they meet at parties or social situations, English people prefer just to smile.

Expressions like “Hello, I’m John Smith”, “Hi, my name is…” are only used when we have to identify ourselves; for example when we go to an appointment at the dentist’s or the hairdresser’s, or if we’re telephoning someone to ask for information about ourselves.

Dialogues in school books where English teenagers present themselves to each other on the first day of school are pure fantasy. In informal social situations, British people prefer to stay chatting about something neutral like the weather, or else they use humour to break the ice. When the conversation has progressed, or even just before leaving, you can say, “I’m Ann, by the way.”, or “I didn’t catch your name”. If you meet the person again you can say, “Hello again” or, more colloquially, “Hi ya”, which stands for “Hello, nice to see you again”.

In the case of formal meetings or business situations, many language courses teach the expression “How do you do?” – to which you should answer “How do you do?”. This phrase is also recommended by the website ediplomat.com and Drett’, the famous specialist publisher that has a range of guides on British etiquette. I have said “How do you do” in my entire life and no one has never said that to me! In today’s Britain this expression is best reserved for extremely formal situations. It is, however, something that people over 60 might say, so if your elderly boss or professor uses this expression with you, then it’s polite to answer in the same way

Infolatria tecnofágica: a era do smartphone

A cibercultura e as realidades virtuais estão transformando radicalmente a nossa experiência psicossocial coletiva: a forma como vivemos, nos comportamos, nos sentimos, nos compreendemos e a própria realidade ao nosso redor.

Toda essa cultura cibernético-informacional é, de fato, incrivelmente cômoda, útil, funcional, sedutora, mas, ainda assim, afirmamos que mais informação circulando nas redes e mídias não significa de modo algum mais conhecimento assimilado, educação, cidadania; e que muito menos a tecnologia, por si, seja sinal seguro de mais esclarecimento, humanidade, erudição e desenvolvimento cultural. O que vale dizer que mais disponibilidade – de dados, conteúdos, twitters, posts, zaps e congêneres – não determina, por si só, qualquer tipo de evolução cognitiva e intelectual.

Outro mito muito propalado aos quatro ventos é o de que a tecnologia seria essencial e necessariamente benéfica às coletividades humanas. O que é – diga-se – uma balela. Pois nós – que pesquisamos a referida matéria há quase uma década – chegamos à dura conclusão de que as tecnologias sempre acabam servindo primeiro aos poderes hegemônicos já dominantes e, tardiamente, à sociedade de uma maneira mais ampla. Sim, pois os investidores que apostam nesses projetos só o fazem com vistas – é óbvio – ao retorno financeiro que eles possam proporcionar, e não num altruísmo improvável que não tem lugar no mundo materialista e venal que aí está. Mesmo porque vivemos numa realidade mercantilista, cuja lógica comercial rege grande parte das relações sociais humanas e assim molda a realidade factual, consuma o presente e vai plasmando também o próprio futuro. 

Ipso facto, podemos afirmar que a cibercultura e o ciberespaço seguem as mesmas leis, operam no mesmo meio societal, sob o mesmo regime econômico, e, por isso mesmo, estão sujeitos às mesmas dinâmicas. E essa fixação – que hoje se observa em relação, por exemplo, aos smartphones, seu culto e massiva utilização – reflete exatamente essa exploração das massas por meio das tecnologias e da própria cultura que se cria em torno delas. Em pouquíssimas palavras, a pessoa paga uma verdadeira fortuna para comprar o aparelho, e ainda adquire um custo fixo considerável para o fornecimento de um serviço – frise-se – que é executado, em sua maioria, por máquinas e sequências algorítmicas. Sim, pois mais uma linha telefônica conectada à rede de qualquer operadora significa, na prática, apenas um comando de computador.

QUARESMA, Alexandre.
