ABSTRACT

The risks involved are broad as well as the affordances are wide. To manage the right balance between the mentioned spheres implies a formed definition of them, which has been proved to be constantly ever changing because of the liquidity perceived in this ecosystem. The changing concepts and notions about how users define main communicative patterns and structures; and the extending parameters to embrace the affordances and the risks involved. The reason to support this proactive perspective relies on a global coverage. Results from an extended view of intrinsic cultural perceptions suggest a stronger tendency of positive affordances over worrying risks. The Human Being as a Communication Portal seems to offer infinitive possibilities to overcome past constraints in users’ empowerment. Within this ever-changing, intermittent, and infinitive process, we human beings have been able to reach outstanding picks: some discovered on the way, some planned, and some never even thought about.
