Internet and more Internet.It has revolutionized our lives and that of all humanity.Their presence affects everyone, the richest, the poorest, the tallest, the least handsome, the smartest...But, how would the relationship between the Internet and social networks have been with some of the most relevant figures in history? Can you imagine it? Yes, let's fantasize a bit.
Social networks for everyone
Instagram is one of the most precious social networks.The images, their light and color, flood everything to give us precious pictorial works.So, like not thinking about it, the great artists would have loved to use it.It is not difficult to imagine MiguelAngel, working in his Sistine Chapel and photographing with his smartphone (one with the best lens on the market, of course) the details in which he was advancing.They say that Pope Julius II pressed him a lot regarding these advances. Yes I would have followed him on Instagram, I would not have had problems to be able to see how the work grew .
Other painters who would have enjoyed a lot of this network would have been the French Impressionists.Well, they were obsessed with the theme of light.Exactly, just like what many happen to us until we decide which filter to use.Did Monet paint a series of up to 31 canvases from Rouen Cathedral? His purpose was to capture the facade in each and every moment of the day, although perhaps Monet would have literally gone mad choosing between Amaro, Clarendon, Lark, Ludwig ...
Philosopher, I say, tweeting
On the other hand, of all the social networks, the one that the most brave philosophers would have enjoyed would have been Twitter.140 characters to pronounce sentences, to let loose strides on their vision of the world, to retweet their friends, to trolle the opponents...Well, in fact, the little bird network is a place where many historical characters "live" .Many accounts are created as if they were spoken by those individuals we studied for selectivity.
@socratesquots has more than 90,000 followers and presents the same thing: phrases of the immortal thought.In English, yes, no ancient Greek.
I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.
-Socrates (@socratesquots) January 11, 2017
Although, as Twitter is the great world of humor, we cannot lose sight of accounts that parody to these types of characters.Platon is the protagonist of one of them and has a mania for Descartes that already, already.
We have been given the notes of the second evaluation and the fool of Descartes goes and philosophy falls.
-Platon (@DescartesTonto) March 22, 2016
Descartes, Kant, Locke, Hume, Nietzsche...Reality surpasses fiction with these creations.
My phrases petan and you know it.Even if you don't understand them, how handsome I am for God, Kant love me now porfa.pic.twitter.com/x35Em8820J

Facebook, the maximum postureo
How many times have you not had the temptation to eliminate one of those friends from Facebook who is always boasting of a magnificent holiday, sensational meals or dream parties? It seems that they live in a perfect world and, to us, mere mortals with all kinds of day-to-day problems, they can get us fed up in the different social networks.
If we think of who would have been the kings of the postureo on Facebook, I imagine precisely that, the kings and powerful teaching the construction of their "little houses" .For example, impossible not to think about Felipe II showing photos of the El Escorial development.And asking his followers: «This room, do I put it all in gold or silver? Doubt corrodes me.”And below, so many“ likes ”of all the subjects who would expect to go to the inauguration.
For its part, the official account of the state of Qi, would have fried us with the novelties of the Great Wall of China.So many images as built meters, at least.And the Taj Mahal? It is well known that the mythical monument is a grave in honor of a deceased wife.More specifically, we owe it to Emperor Shah Jahan, who ordered it to be built as a tribute to Mumtaz Mahal.In this case, his friends would have had to hold the tone depressive and low of the emperor , every time he shared a photo of the monument, who are worse, the stick enthusiasts or the exhibitionist tristons who constantly have to be encouraged?
My whatsapp group
WhatsApp is not an application without more, it is the engine of our social relationships and we use it for everything.Sure, we are used to having a small group with our friends to go to dinner, to have a beer...Our mother He asks us to buy the bread, our uncle sends us another one of those videos of kittens that are supposed to be so cute, but imagine what the WhatsApp group of the greatest in history would have been .
For example, the one of the Borgia family .«Hey, remember that tonight we load the marques: evil:» «Ok, the poison goes in the wine, doesn't it?» «In the wine does not, that I want to take the little point, put it in the soup=^-^=»« Clarify, in the end we poison ourselves! ^^ '»
Although, for a good group, well, the one they would have set up during the French Revolution to coordinate all their actions.We can imagine that list of members, updating every five minutes with the new additions, the deaths of some classics, the changes of administrator.Rather, it would have been quite chaotic and even depressing.Because we can also see Robespierre sending motivational videos , loaded with good intentions to stimulate the masses.Those videos that last almost ten minutes, which you they consume the megabytes and that they are plagued with topics and incongruities.That is a Reign of Terror, and not the one that was lived in France in 1793.
Youtubers of assonant rhyme
Another interesting universe of the world of social networks is the whole movement created around the figure of youtubers.You know, those guys who earn so many euros a month for playing live video games or telling us what they have deserved that late.Who would have been youtubers de solera a few decades ago? Well, our poets and writers, without a doubt.Machado would have had hundreds of visits, while the classics of the generation of 27 would have had a great time reciting his last compositions in front of the public.Can you imagine the comments? "Bernarda Alba, rules", "Your metaphors are low", "Less sonnet and tell us gossip of Alberti ".
Not to mention the dialectical pikes that we would have had instead of letting go of pullets between conceptism and culteranismo, with those maximum references such as Quevedo and Gongora .They would have dedicated poems, jokes and «caranchoas» diverse, always in stunningly perfect language, of course.
Leader of e-sports
Of course, on the issue of eSports we see, clearly, great military figures like Julio Cesar, Napoleon or Genghis Khan .Well, the Khan warriors might have eaten the controls instead of throwing a few games.The LoL tournaments would have been played on another level.Would the first Roman Caesar have been caught by Garen, for his very balanced characteristics? Who would have dared with Zed? Too bad we can't find out.
