Paris tan bonito: books to understand the steps of the digital world, by Mauricio Bernal

The design of a new world based on technology due to a failure of empresas a las que mueven intereses meramente corporativos, by a lad, and the risks of integrating everything into the purification of the algorithm, by another, he spooled the writing of essays extremely critical with this period that extends by all the world from the Silicon Valley billiard bills. We use everything we sell with alloys, but we can ask more questions.

Parecía tan bonito & mldr; Internet, intelligent telephones, information at the click of a button, friends at the click of a button, absolutely in alcance of a click. The world in a multicolor pantyhose and the multicolor pantyhose in the bolsillo. The ideal of miles of millions of interconnected people traversed by an infinite red. Lo’uturar ‘futuro’ y paroía eso, magnificent. But, as far as the revolutions are concerned, we must show our debilitating points. No, no era tan bello. The new world is not altruistic, disinterested and beautiful. It was a bargain, and no bargaining chip: it has engaged in the largest and most multinational corporations. Its crime is possible because its goods are consumed all over the planet, and because of their inventions. part of the routine of an enormous majority. But you have to be careful. If you want to be in the digital world, most people do not know how to do it.

“Every time we use an algorithm, especially a free one, we ask questions about the occult proposals. Why is this app for free? What exactly is this algorithm? Is it an exchange with the one that is comfortable? & Rdquor ;, Hannah Fry writes in ‘Hello World. Cómo seguir being human in the era of algorithms’ (Blackie Books), the same as the British author put on guard against the imperial empire: it is in this that the man becomes adventurous and without questions. The questions of Fry Podrian are a summary of the horror of this type of literature: it looks good, but it’s not. Always have some luck, and are responsible citizens to identify.

It is possible that who is better off than the French Eric Sadin, author of a consistent work in denouncing the excesses, evils and occult interests of the digital world. Suyas son, for example, ‘The artificial intelligence or the challenge of sailing’ y ‘La silicolonización del mundo’, both edited in castellano by Caja Negra. In ‘The Siliconization of the World’, Sadin’s only signal that Silicon Valley is the only one a colonized spirit that spares the world of various forms (the French philosopher says that the ‘start up’ is the advance of its colonization), meaning that he feels he has been accepted by the mayor as part of the people’s individual sovereignty. Somos títeres. Write Sadin: “We do not only affirm in vain altar and clear ‘you have read unfaithful lies’, say about everything, ‘you do not want to crucify this limit’. Ustedes no van a cruzarlo porque make our arrastria a generalized quantification, an integral mercantilization of life and an algorithmic organization of society & rdquor ;.

It is a matter of opening the eyes and thinking about the future. While technology has advanced so much over the years if you have the power to form an avasalladora, What can happen in the next 50 years? It’s a game, the future of the man, and the season of the title ‘La lucha por el futuro humano’, by Jeremy Naydler (Atalanta), a volume that denounces that the human being is in the same state; de hecho, lo humano, que es su principal ingredient. Corporate interests are the only north of the companies that carry out the great metamorphosis, so that no one can treat them collectively well. The best way of doing hacerles frente, dice Naydler, es fulfilling the essential values ​​of the human. The reading of the review is what matters: the digital revolution is taking over the human race.
