They are hairy, they grunt and they don't know what a smartphone is, but they are the kings of Instagram

We are in the office and we can not help it, we hide (again) to watch a little Instagram on our mobile.How beautiful that paradise beach, what fancy food this couple is sticking, when suddenly....Oh no! It is an irresistible video of kittens that I can not stop watching.They are so cute, adorable and achuchables...And so on to infinity.More than one we can feel recognized in this heartbreaking testimony.But it is not only cats, we have dogs, rabbits, horses... fauna and more fauna to worship in social networks and that they do not even know what the Valencia filter is.

Why do we like them? so much?

This thing that we like the photos and videos of animals is something that comes long.Fortunately, within the emotional crowd in which we live, most of us have a big place to love animals, with those of us who share the planet and live under the same sky.But what happens with the Internet is something that overflows the understanding .In fact, we already have studies that try to analyze this phenomenon.

Jessica Gall Myrick is a researcher who has published 'Emotional regulation, procrastination and videos of felines online: who sees these cats, why and with what effect?', a study in which we explain that this type of content make us feel happier .And this is because the empathy that these animals produce stimulates the segregation of oxytocin .And more hormones, because from the University of Hiroshima they would also bring a benefit that would have this type of content.It would make us better at work by helping to concentrate better.In this case, by the cortisol that is generated in our body.

What is a clear fact is that this material arouses our tenderness and our affection.And, surely, from an innocent and pure optic, because the animals (for the moment) do not practice posturing .When we smile at their actions, it is an act of spontaneity that comes to us.Something that reconciles us a little with the world.The instinct of protection awakens, above all, with the puppies, those animals whose features nature designed as a deadly trap.to create adoration.Then there are those who are naughty, naughty...as we know, people do not stop humanizing everything.Not to mention the weirdest, bizarre, comic animals that are so striking to us....

They have more followers on Instagram than you do

Come and see.Next, a review of some Instagram accounts that I like most to Internet users.Its protagonists are animals, of all kinds, indole and condition.Its photos and videos treasure thousands of comments, smiles and sighs...With the permission of Cristiano Ronaldo, they are stars of the network and they without knowing it.

Those of us who knew Espinete well know how difficult it is That is to resist the charm of a hedgehog .Hedgy, a New Yorker, has many friends who pose with him for his Instagram account and his almost 20,000 followers.He loves fruit, posing curled up and, like so many of our protagonists, bite everything that gets in their way.

If you are a giant red lizard , the strange thing is that you do not succeed in a network like Instagram, to little that your owner throws a spark of imagination.MacGyver is the name of an authentic VIP of the network.Its unlikely presence reminds us of a dinosaur, a mythical creature recreated in cardboard and not in flesh and blood.But yes, it is real, as their 160,000 followers can well assure.

Another lovely animal that has always occupied our pet dreams is a rabbit, and then this Exempel.Exempel is so cute, so handsome, that he gives even rage.It comes out well, with a flattering pose.It's a top model of instagramers animals , with that veneer m Elancolica and her ears porridge.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps.

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
