In many cases, the processing of computer information is compared to the processing of our brain, both systems have multiple memories that store information in specific regions with the function of working with them, on the other hand, the digital age of technology?We adopt specific computer science terms to describe how we work, such as automation.
Thus, it can be said that the human being has entered the logic of automation, not only entered, but allowed himself to be invaded by it. What does that mean? This means that, first with commercialism, then with industrialization and, more recently, with the digital age, we have ended up mechanizing, simplifying and repeating processes so many times that most have ended up becoming routine. conditions and react like machines.
- At the heart of this transformation is the concept of time.
- One of the realities that has changed the most.
- Becoming practically the axis of automation.
- The maximum of the human being sometimes gets very close to that of the machine: producing more in less time.
- ?Take maximum production time ?.
- Be faster in everything and time discipline.
- All of this equates to what some call efficiency and “efficiency.
- ” two great values in today’s world.
“No computer has been designed to be aware of what you’re doing. But, most of the time, neither do we. -Marvin Minsky-
It is assumed that one of the objectives of technology is to free man, allows not to devote so much time to mechanical tasks and have more free time, however, the same digital age has designed spaces and devices that, in one way or another, have also ended up invading moments of rest and leisure.
First, it’s the media. They have invaded society as a means of entertainment and facilitator of the flow of information. Radio and film, the first media, were not present 24 hours a day everywhere. Television, on the other hand, has marked the beginning of another culture. turned many into passive consumers of entertainment.
With the digital age, the colonization of free time has been consolidated and, with it, the automation of the human being, reality is not only seen through a screen, but we can interact with it in this virtual world, anytime, anywhere.
Many free hours are spent on social media and Internet browsing. Free time is also preformatted. At the same time, morality duplicates, promotes and forbids vices. The industry, both legal and illegal, generates an impressive amount of money with people’s “free time. “
We’re less and less patient. Less ability to engage in realities that require working with difficulties and contradictions, letting processes flow, and processing and resolving disputes goes against automation, where the important thing is to simplify and achieve observable results as quickly as possible. it is the effect of this passion for immediacy, speed and a desire to fill the time of anything.
The immediate produces pleasures and forms of happiness that are usually temporary, this way of life easily leads to states of anxiety, right?Swallow? Experiments without savoring them, is also a way to increase the number of experiences by decreasing their quality, pause and slowdown is necessary condition to overcome automation, that is, this unbridled consumption of experiences.
Beauty is one of life’s most rewarding experiences. Discover beauty in a word, in an act, in an idea, in a person or in any kind of reality. However, beauty is not usually what is captured at first sight; It’s quite the opposite. True beauty needs time to manifest itself but it has enormous power: it fills us with life.
Automation is reflected in our routines and everything we constantly repeat: words, ideas, actions, ways of doing things, etc. , its most negative aspect is that it deprives us of deep and authentic experiences, and also takes away the ability to look at reality. from another perspective, this leads us to act without thinking or feeling intensely and finally depresses and afflicts us.
