<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Web 2.0 promised that everyone could become a free and
creative media publisher, but had exactly the opposite result. Today, most
people's web content is locked into the proprietary services of only a handful
of Internet social media giants. Individual freedom of expression fits
perfectly in a consumerist environment of templates and themes. Privacy is not
an issue because “we have nothing to hide”. And cloud computing refers to
everything except the clouds of CO2, that are being emitted by datacenters all
over the world.</span></p>

intuitively create your own website that is being used by thousands of users.
Superglue not only allows Internet users to simply and cheaply design websites,

rich and varied programme with a thematic exhibition, seminars, lectures,
workshops and performances. The theme for the 2014 edition is ʻThe Progess

itself and has been decoupled from the cultural and social advances that it was
supposed to help achieve. </span></p>
