One of the most tangible or noticeable changes is the immediacy and rapid accessibility of information we obtain today. Before, knowledge was a scarce resource that required effort to obtain, like going to a library and reading thousands of books to gain diverse ideas on a topic, and it could be said that we all had the same idea regarding a topic.
Over the years we have noticed how technology has come to make us evolve and how we observe and see things in very different ways than before; since thanks to its advanced technological evolution we are now just a click away from obtaining any information we want regardless of the time, place or moment we are, We have developed an extraordinary ability to scan, filter and process large volumes of information at a time.
Technology has come into our lives to provide us with amazing capabilities because our brain is so extraordinarily adaptable, and fully capable of evolving to function in this rapid technological growth.
The key is not to resist technology, but to understand its effects and learn to interact with it consciously and strategically. The real challenge of the century is “digital literacy,” which encompasses not only the handling of tools but also a deep understanding of how these tools are shaping our minds, our relationships, and ultimately, the future of human intelligence.
