THE TECHNOLOGICAL RACE

We are living in an age that experiences great changes at speeds much greater than in ages past. This makes it very difficult not to stop to think about what will happen if we continue like this, what relationship will we have with technology? How will we humans end up? Is it worth detaching so much from ourselves?

Every year more people enter the network, which gives way to an increasingly realistic and developed hyperconnected world that is gradually enveloping us all and is gaining positions without us noticing.
The concept of the “Internet of things”, which is quickly explained is the connection of the Internet with more objects than with people, is closer than we think and before we know it we will have fully achieved its meaning.

In the foreseeable future, all technology will be made to interact with people.
With the passage of time, many advances in technology are being achieved and what was previously seen in futuristic films and generated the typical “wow” is now on some occasions fully incorporated, and as that technology that we saw so The more futuristic will be the people who can choose to immerse themselves fully in their own sci-fi movie.

Technology will be established in very routine aspects of our lives. The constant development of home automation, for example, will generate the implementation of more and more digital homes, which translates into fewer concerns and efforts for humans. But how big will the feedback and the human-technological connection get? There will come a point in which even the smallest gesture will entail an action or an understanding on the part of technology, which over time will be more and more established in our lives and will have a higher level of communication, that is, each time it will have a greater artificial intelligence which translates into greater adaptation to the human race.

With each generation that is born, we are faced with the reality that more and more people are already growing up in a technological and developed world and that they are not going to know another reality. This over time will grow more and more and will leave generations that will totally forget about past abilities since they will replace them with some kind of futuristic element that will perform that function. Generations that will lose much of the grace of the human being and that may in the future be totally dependent on technology because they have been leaving more and more weight on it as time has passed.
But this is a very hopeless vision, I personally like the option in which we forget about skills but develop new, more complex ones and leave to technology those that have been being carried out by us for a long time and that no longer they give us any kind of complication.

There is also the possibility that the Internet will make the human being stop reasoning and wondering things for himself and become dependent on the Internet in case of any type of doubt.
As well as the generation of an insecurity towards our own critical thinking by never having 100% confidence in us, since we know that there is something superior that has the correct answer without giving rise to doubts or exceptions.

Current realities such as the educational system will become obsolete since with the current teaching method, generations will realize that it does not have any type of logic to teach us that information when we have that and much more with a single click. The teaching should continue of course that it is, but it should change its perspective and its way of seeing things to be able to adapt to the great change that it means to have everything you want to know at your fingertips. It should focus on aspects that the adaptation of technology to our lives can decrease.

Apart from all this, the reality is that no one knows how technology is going to influence us or how we are going to cope with it beyond the theories and possibilities that each one sees.
It is good to think about how it will be since after all the human being is curious by nature, but there is no need to cling to an idea of ​​the future and less if it is totally hopeless for the human race.

Whatever it has to be, it will be.
