Are Our Devices Turning Us Into A New Kind Of Human?

Anthropologist Amber Case says that our technology is turning us into an electronic robot. She thinks that we got a screen to look at the button and click on the new version of Homo sapiens

Cyborg Anthropologist Amber Case studied how human beings and technology interact and evolve. Like other anthropologists, Case is watching people but in her visit they observe how they are participating in the digital network and their character, communication, work, play, value and value To the digital device.

The case created Geoloqi.com. This is a private location sharing application that was dissatisfied with existing social protocols on text messaging and path finding. She is moderate in technology: next generation equipment design and illustration cyborg anthropology dictionary

What is the most scary thing? I am talking about experiencing all of these through a soap-sized device, you and me, and the $ 7 billion we bring with most of the clear life. Within 1 ms, these devices made it possible to realize the entire earth - and this time added a completely new form of human interaction. Recent Stanford research insults that it is not that simple. In this study, it was observed that subjects were exposed to large amounts of multimedia in a short period of time (unlike all actions in our daily life). In the perfect world, I want to learn as much as possible in as short a time as possible. But in the case of research, the opposite can be said. The results prove that medium to heavy multimedia consumption in a short period of time tends to cause the big problem of excluding the most important information and reducing recall of information actually used in the future.

The first mass market interactive device is a video game, you can control the results, but you can control the interaction process to some extent. Ultimately, you can use VCR or Tivo style devices to control when you watch TV broadcasts. Over time, we can control what we can absorb and when, and exponentially control more absorbing content. Since the commercialization of the Internet, we saw blogs, podcasts, and YouTube (and others) increasing the number of "things" through unprecedented orders. Now, we can even control the speed at which things can be absorbed - my audiobook player can play at 3 times faster, 3 times faster speed (too fast for me!) Did you get distracted?
