TECH-HUMANO
Technological Humanism or "Tech-Humano" is the merging of technology and humans. Under the umbrella of Technological Humanism, we find the idea that technology is so integrated into society and the world that it becomes part of our greater intelligence. According to the vision of technological humanism, humans will be intrinsically linked to technology from their birth and our entire lives will be determined by the sensors that surround us, both personally and as a society.
Yuval Noah Harari, historian, philosopher and author of "Homo Deus", unravels humanism and paints a possible future based on what he calls "Dataism". In other words, algorithms, while not conscious, are highly intelligent, meaning they could soon know us better than we know ourselves. In his book, this philosopher raises questions about who will win, whether man or machine, in this world dominated by data and how Technological Humanism can transform leadership and its development.
Although the feasibility of these approaches is still in the exploration and validation phase, there are more tangible techno-humanist examples right now like people who have integrated or implanted chips and other electronic devices into their bodies,
Focus Areas & Key Words
Below is a list of words you should keep in mind while reading through each focus area. The definitions are there to remind us of all the parts that define each term so we can see if they apply to the focus area accurately. For example, to say something is "ethical" one might only recall the part of the definition that defines it as "Morally good or correct" but it can also mean "Avoiding activities or organizations that do harm to people or the environment". Ask yourself questions and make mental notes about the relationship between the key words and each focus area.
The focus areas are summaries of articles and research journals. You can see the full text by clicking on the buttons that look like the one below. It will direct you away from the site to a PDF version of the original text or the site it came from.
