Continuum review

Very interesting concept. Even with the story stretched out, they manage to make protagonists and antagonists that you're both for and against. Good characters and actors keep you interested and good twists and turns.

More like "Tediuum." Another sterile, made-in-Canada sci-fi show that shouldn't be aired too late at night, or it'll put you to sleep.

This one really surprised me. Great storyline, perfect cast ( especially Rachel Nichols ), cool tech...
In my opinion one of the greatest TV series ever to come out. Hope it lasts at least 5 seasons.

Continuum review

The millennial development of mankind has brought great consequences, including both the accumulation and concentration of information, as knowledge of all knowledge in all fields. However, it is in the stage of capitalism, called globalization, especially from the nineties, that new technologies: computer science, robotics, computers, telecommunications, among many others, have a new wave of innovations without precedents that impact the world in all its dimensions.
One of the features, perhaps the most, important from the political, social, cultural and economic globalization are major private corporations: the megacorporations because of their power of concentration and accumulation of capital worldwide and represent oligarchies that hold a monopoly on weapons, commodity, market, technology, and even the political and ideological power.
These powerful companies are not only the natural result of the logic of capitalism, social Darwinism, where the "big fish eats the smaller, but the resulting mixture of all kinds of interests in relation to the capital for their control and domain.
This mix includes all interests both licit and illicit, because the maximum optimization of profit leads to the conclusion that it's all business, because everything is bought and sold everything. To everything there market: human organs, people, children, weapons (of any kind) and even democracy.
Then megacorporations are gigantic companies, in addition to concentrate capital built up networks of diverse groups from different countries with multiple twists, almost worldwide, resulting in a virtual powerhouse is as big business, especially the financial oligarchy, which is presented as a non-state, with many centers of power (polycentric), to the extent that the groups making up the network are located worldwide and his government is "invisible" hand of the market as .
It is public knowledge the power of some corporations to influence elections through infiltration of political organizations and campaign finance at all levels of government and all business partidos.Las Megacorporations are mixtures that diversify and distribute the production in different countries with a view to producing for the world market; coordinate a complex and dynamic network investments in the vanguard of all countries seek the cheapest labor, political and fiscal advantages, markets abundant supplies, the best way out for finished products and move through the world in search of "offshoring".
It also highlights the feature that a substantial part of world trade takes place within the same network of a few mega-corporations, among them branches and among other corporations of the same level.
The call Megacorporations technostructure operate invisibly cover where a pyramid structure which itself comprises other pyramids, that allows not only a horizontal dimension more direct control on three levels, but the ultimate control and filtering the last level down besides not being aware of the big decisions is incommunicado for the other members, both upwards and horizontally.

This is a new era of monopolies megacorporativos enjoying great autonomy of transnational capital, its actual hegemony no longer corresponds to any particular national power, but to the private state megacorporations. And if there is some special reason for it has its central seat in the United States for three reasons: to embody the first and only surviving superpower, because its political and legal system favors the maximum capital expansion and for being willing to use his extraordinary military power anywhere on the planet that shows resistance megacorporativos interests.

Large masses of concrete and steel rise amid great global metroplex. Venues with its own laws and private security. Nations within themselves with a government led by senior executives, getting to have larger armies and better equipped than the old world superpowers.

So corporations are 2060 monsters stick their claws into everything that can bring them a huge profit. Since technological advances, to the smallest thing, as long as increase its economic power in the world order.

These global money machines usually have separate laws to those places where they are located. Which means that within its doors, you are in an independent country. They might accuse you of anything just for the sake of being there, and should not have to explain to the local government, because this does not control the building or corporate conclave inhabited by workers and executives.

Each corporation usually divided into two different places, although you have to keep everything the resort itself in one place. One is usually the corporate campus itself, where the workplaces of corporate staff. Another is the corporate conclave, where workers live less position in the company. Both usually have security provided by the same corporation, which always vary depending on the level of this. You can go from typical guards with dogs, even armed with the latest and multiple monitoring devices
