[Never say never. Reflections on infohighways or highways of information].
The indiscriminate supply of unsolicited scientific information, means an overload for the professional in his assimilative intellectual process, which sometimes forces him to put aside his capacity for developing "scientific curiosity" (the basic principle of the university culture). This may cause an intimate discord between what I should do and what I can do, which may cause negative sensations in his self-esteem. With the incorporation of new means of communication, the velocity with which this information is supplied, is much higher than our capacity for assimilation, which often leads to reactions of rejection as a protective measure against such disproportionate aggression. This protective measure may be negative in our competitive society, possibly leading to the professional and even social disqualification. As we have to incorporate these new technologies into our activities, both at the professional as at the social level, getting to know them better, shall allow us to make a correct use thereof (with the latter being proportional to the depth of the former), avoiding, on the other hand, to be manipulated by its consumer offers. In this publication we give a summary of the current possibilities of using the Network, which are useful in our scientific and cultural environment (E-mail, access to scientific data bases, telematic protocols, electronic journals, etc.), with testing the possibilities of initiating our own first telematic projects, with a single finality: to potentiate the communication between all the scientific collaborators related to the discipline of nutrition, which is an aim that every scientific journal, and ours in particular, should have among its purposes.
