Firefox and other internet lies

Because the world will be a website

Who does not remember those times in which, while you browse
Internet, everywhere you may want to switch to Firefox? 
Firefox is more secure, Firefox is more stable … we were saying. 

Well, it’s a program that works, is not a fudge, but what has 
happened to all those banners, buttons, and pop ups we invited 
save us from hell switched to Firefox? 
In education, this was also the religion that had 
taken. As the campaign sold between the lines, the idea of vaporous 
Firefox was associated with the free software, and the smooth roll 
with us we get on the Internet, there 
teachers who were, without further reflection, to support the promotion of 
Fire fox for putting his banner on its website. 

Now, these promotional graphics Firefox will only “home” 
somehow confused or reluctant some resentment against microsoft. The 
reason is simple: people get money to promote the virtues of Firefox. 
When the Google AdSense network ads google closed section 
“recommendations” (basically an affiliate program) stopped paying 
to promote Firefox. 

And now the problems 
2 and in its aftermath, Firefox and showed a defect 
before that it was difficult to close the eyes. The most obvious, his brutal 
resource consumption. 
Version 3 promises to solve this (it has only in part, from 
my point of view), but version 3 is proving a real 
headache. You will be left hanging, turn it off, try again 
launch, but it turns out that after closing, he has remained open for their 
mind and prevents you from re-open it … Go to administrator 
tasks and then shut it down. 
Does not work well with Yahoo. The current situation for some users 
is that it simply can not access their mail using yahoo 
firefox, have to check with another browser (some use a 
plugin for firefox that have come to this bad patch 
operation. 
Other users have problems when trying to use both firefox and 
chrome. Some suggested that it firefox crashes since also installed 
chrome. 

All this from people I know, because the sites where 
must go and drink in the network, not all comments 

Well, where is this army of martyrs of open source, 
apostles of wikipedians and  of demo-cracy (Beta) for 
internet, those who try to make us spend his dictatorship by democracy 
directly, feudal lords who control the network from 
get positions of advantage in the early years or the last 
million? The satrap of the blogosphere, why not now put a 
criticism where Firefox put before a banner praising its virtues? 

As regards the world of teaching, this should serve 
as a metaphor. Not in a situation that is characterized, 
simply because there are new tools, we are in a new 
situation. The world is changing (do not preach, I resigned) and the 
final destination of that change is an entirely different world. The 
Education also has to do it, radically. 
It is not, not, change the chalk and the blackboard by the beam 
and the screen, no!. 

To become aware of the process, first, episodes like this 
(pure márquetin) reveal that the world of education can not see 
Internet as a tool, but precisely as the world 
have to teach. 
Because the world will be a website. The tools, however, 
are the means to integrate education on the Internet for 
lead teachers and the entire education community to the platform. 
The new education-as they become non-starts 
building to strengthen the role of teachers in ICT coordinators 
centers. All teachers need a basic standard 
procedures (websites) for updating their 
enable teachers to exercise their function in a manner appropriate to the new 
context and that prevent them from also making an ugly role in episodes 
like firefox, the Wikipedia, the adoption of the naive 
terminology “2.0″, etc. ..
