Fear of the mobile phone

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

In human nature there is a need to have control over potentially dangerous variables in our lives. We need to reduce the risks that frighten us to get peace of mind. In this sense, knowledge offers us possibilities to relax. Throughout history, fear has also been the motor of the creation and mastery of certain social models.

Today, for many people, mobile is a driving uncertainty. We've been told that we need this device in order not to suffer the digital divide, but we're realizing that with the idea of bridging the digital divide, we're driving an increase in the number of people suffering from digital vulnerability.

Every week I have mobiles for about 20 people in digital vulnerability. These people see their mobiles as a threat: they have their devices full of ads and notifications. In many cases, devices sold with modernity and low price air are those that are most likely to generate vulnerability, as they are designed to feed business models that seek data extraction.

Four small steps to increase some control over the phone:

In the Mobile Adjustment section:
1) Manage Google services, disable Ad Id.
2) Manage notifications, remove most notifications. Instead of being told at all times by your cell phone, appreciate that you have a daily time to look at your cell phone, you'll have the flow of information under your control.
3) Manage privacy extension permissions.
4) Uninstall unnecessary applications.

At least with this you will manage some “noise” and increase the control of the retention in your hand.

ARGIAk ez du zertan bat etorri artikuluen edukiarekin. Idatzien gehienezko luzera 4.500 karakterekoa da (espazioak barne). Idazkera aldetik gutxieneko zuzentasun bat beharrezkoa da: batetik, ARGIAk ezin du hartu zuzenketa sakona egiteko lanik; bestetik, egitekotan edukia nahi gabe aldatzeko arriskua dago. ARGIAk azaleko zuzenketak edo moldaketak egingo dizkie artikuluei, behar izanez gero.

Health workers against the Basque Country, health workers against patients

The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

It's not the only elephant in the class.

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Good tail

I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]

Vice President Trump and Ukrainian President Putin

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]

La blancura is not on vacation

I can't contain the fire that hugs me inside, and I can only write these stupid words so I don't get mastered by despair.

I hate hypocrisy, I hate whites. The problem is that whiteness is everywhere, that we are all white.

It is well known that all the institutions take... [+]
