How to be "Team Human" in the digital future
Hi everyone! now I´m going to talk about of the video we saw in the class. To begin, in the video we saw to Douglas Rushkoff that he spoke about the human future in relation to technological development and the digital age. Also he said that technology is at the service of the market, because it serves to generate information and influence the decisions of the people. The caught my attention, because my career (Sociology) helps to generate that information about people and their interests, and I would not like my career to serve for the objectives of capitalism.
Also in the video Douglas Rushkoff spoke the technology makes us more individualistic, that social networks are separating us and that education makes us more competitive. I Think those are the main ideas of Douglas Rushkoff. In addition, he spoke that technology controls us, and that the humanity should reconnect and collaborate to build a better future for all.
I agree with Rushkoff that the technology has proven negative effects on the people. But I think that technology is a tool, and as a tool is not the main cause of all the problems mentioned. We have to take charge of the responsibility that we have in the increase of individualism, in communication, and competition.
Douglas Rushkoff
you're right! I didn't think about it like that :)
