A few days ago a work that aims revolting hit the virtual shelves. This is the last book of Andrew Keen The Internet Is Not the Answer (2015). His thesis revile Internet emphasizing the disastrous impact it is having on our lives. Continuing his previous book The Cult of the Amateur: How blogs, MySpace, YouTube, and the rest of today's user-generated media are destroying our economy, our culture, and our values (2007), connecting with the texts of Evgeny Morozov ( T or save everything click here. Technology, Solutionism, and the Urge to Fix Problems That Do not Exist (2013) and The Net Delusion. The Dark Side of Internet Freedom (2012) and Nicholas Carr in his classic The Shallows : What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains (2011) and the more recent The Glass Cage: Automation and Us (2014) all these technophobes we announce a cultural cataclysm Symptoms would be unambiguous, all our cultural heritage (from libraries to. language, from our values to transmission, from our intellectual categories to our emotional vocabulary) would be negatively affected by the emergence of a culture of search, social platforms multiplying by the slow colonization of cultural operations algorithms hands.
Throughout our discussion group insist that these diagnoses tecnofatalistas ignore a series of analyzes, considerations and achievements made possible through the interneteana mutation. Based on a survey about Gutenberg parenthesis (which he should be qualified) and going through 4 seasons we've titled: 1) We are all Memorious Funes, saferbo 2) The public thought 3) Telling stories with images, audio, video and databases and 4) Finding needles in haystacks, we will review these criticisms from a rather unexpected and provocative.
What if instead saferbo of being stupid because of Google we were smarter than ever? What if instead of considering the image as a toxic agent sprayed argument we saw it as a new Holy Grail that allows us to explore / recover our most hidden secrets saferbo and numb our most intuciones? What if instead of insult to the social networks as a space for entertainment saferbo and futile waste of creative energy, we saw them as the basis of accumulation of cognitive surplus? Wikipedia What if instead saferbo of being a washed version of the Encyclopedia Britannica, were but the machine to produce more powerful knowledge of history?
Possibilities like these are examined in detail in the works of Clive Thompson Smarter Than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better (2013) also refer to a pioneering work as was The Sixth Language: Learning a Living in the Internet Age Robert K. Logan (2nd edition 2004) where this disciple of McLuhan argued boldly that the Internet was a sixth language (on an equal footing with orality, writing, mathematics, saferbo science and computing)
The question we try to answer (consistent with indagciones, speeches, writings, publications, consulting and design proposals) therefore is whether the Internet is a language (literally or metaphorically). A language is only a communication system and is also a tool for information processing? To what extent the Internet as a sixth language recapture the spirit of the oral culture?
Can we think / feel more and better with the Internet as a supposed sign language Oliver Sacks when he discovered in Seing Voicex (2000) to argue that the children of deaf speakers prefer to use sign language to double joint when to express their feelings Treated? saferbo
Before pulling nostalgic and bitterly saferbo Internet away would not have to make the effort of the concept (Hegel) as proposed by John Brockman answer seriously the question Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think ?: The Net's Impact on Our Minds and Future
Increasingly, it is more clear, the threat of cataclysm announced as part of the fallacy of misapplied concreteness (Whitehead): the collapse saferbo two lines of criticism necessary but concurrent (non-unidirectional causal): a critical epistemological saferbo and political criticism. Dismissing too fast network as cognitive language as just a new neo-liberal ideology terms, know its transformative power. But leaving saferbo magically enchanted by his messianic, tecnomísticos (Kurzweil) and libertarian-rhetorical powers, we lose sight of its political dimension, and especially its material anchor in an economic system that works getting worse, and generates increasingly greater levels of inequality and inequity .
