Rise of the Machines: artificial intelligence with seamless brain-computer interfaces.
Technological determination: technology ‘produces new realities’, new ways of communicating, learning and living. Which are the effects?
The opposition between digital technology as ‘unreal’ and de-humanising, and the natural world as authentic and living.
This picture rises the question about the ecological and social implications of an obsession or fixation on technology. Salvation or destruction?
This reminds me of Week 1 Resources on Popular cultures (E-learning and Digital Cultures Course at The University of Edinburgh #edcmooc ): Technological determination: technology ‘produces new realities’, new ways of communicating, learning and living, and its effects can be unpredictable.

Week 3: Reasserting the human
"Human nature and human ways of being are in some sense under threat by technology, and that this has the potential to undermine the basis of our commitment to humanist ideas which underlie many educational philosophies and approaches to practice, such as equality, freedom and autonomy." How about that?
Division between digital world and real life: bridging time and space. Parallel Worlds (See Matrix).

This picture depicts the view that human nature and human ways of being are under threat by scientific and technological advances. We can observe the progressive deteriorated appearance of the image, but nevertheless looking up above (hope???)
How about gesture and digital rituals?
This is my personal story on how future technology is portrayed as just as frustrating, mundane and absorbing.
What do you think about our digital future?

My idea on ‘Technocentric’ Worlds
What is this image suggesting are the ecological and social implications of an obsession or fixation on technology? See Week 1 Resources on Popular cultures from E-learning and Digital Cultures Course about Bendito Machine III:
