social networks, Fernando Pessoa, Poem in a straight lineAbstract
One of the characteristics that makes any artist immortal is his ability to produce timeless art. The genius of Fernando Pessoa, world-renowned poet, is manifested in the "Poem in straight line" of his heteronym, Alvaro de Campos.
Fernando Pessoa manages, in a poem written about 100 years ago, to paint a perfect portrait of the virtual reality that we live in social networks today. It is absolutely astounding to see how some characteristics of human beings are maintained
and also unbelievable how a bankrupt businessman, a mere translator of business correspondence, a mere translator of business correspondence, managed to take a picture that is so clear and that manages to remain so current even after going through a century of brutal and profound transformations of the society in which we live.
