My Brain is Post-Internet?

Connections change our world, only if man's will allows.

SmartThings some brands like Samsung (Smart Things), Google (Brillo/Weave), Apple (HomeKit), Allseen Alliance (Alljoyn) and Amazon (Alexa) will offer tools (applications, cameras and sensors) that will enable the smart home through the internet of things. Among its features are energy efficiency and security. Yes, the «digital natives thieves» will have an easier, vintages need recycling.

Lourd 1 — The photograph belongs to the reserve of El Carmen, covering areas of desert, grassland, forests and other ecosystems rich in biodiversity. La Cueva is a property of 260 square meters located several kilometres from civilization and is hardly accessible.

Joking aside, the reality of the XXII century will be virtual, and pass through the screen of a device. The cultural sector will be dominated by multiplatform narratives, have disappeared copyright as we know, and libraries-but not libraries- be history (Bracero, 2016). Douglas Coupland words we could say «I miss my pre-internet brain.» Technological development makes sense while serving to increase knowledge and did not go in impaired development of our capabilities.

Hans Vestberg, CEO of Ericsson, describes the drastic influence will the Internet of things: «If a person is connected to the network, changes his life. But if all things and objects are connected, the world is changing.» Not only human we hold the privilege of being intelligent.

Faced with the opinion of Hans Vestberg, is that of Mukhanov, one of the researchers who discovered next to Hawking’s theory of the origin of the universe. For him, «The machines will only be smarter than us if we strive to be dumber than them and stop thinking» (Tagarro, 2016, p. 24).

Lourd 2 — «It is conceived as a haven in a wild environment, so we go back to the top man used as protection: the caves» (Kenji Lopez, Greenfield MX).

Ultimately, the danger is empty of content technology, limit ourselves to use it without transmitting any message. Proof of this are the texts published on social networks. Even some talk about «infoxication» as a result of the abuse of technology in everyday life.

I am a faithful advocate of sustainable anthropology, put all the means at our disposal to achieve a humanized life style, where the environment is built on those same coordinates. Technology should help us better, materially and spiritually.
