What digitalisation is transforming.
Excerpt from the e-book, which was created as part of another project:
„There are people in South America who still live in pre-state times (together), hunter-gatherers in the 21st century; they have not yet seen the chalice of the agricultural revolution. Somewhat further north live people, so-called creationists, who consider Ch. Darwin to be a liar and God to be the creator of all life. The fact that there are still people - even in Europe - who assume that we are always rational beings, consciously controlling our desires and fears, and that S. Freud is an insignificant Viennese sausage, may seem "charming" in comparison. But it shows that we People in different times live.
1800 - at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, there was no synchronisation of time signals across city boundaries in any country in the world. Every town and village has a different time, which has always been orientated by the sun and bell tower and soon by station clocks.
It is precisely those who set up these clocks and operate the railways that make time synchronisation across cities and countries necessary: in 1884, only 100 years later, at the International Meridian Conference in Washington, when the nation states had become stronger, the World time standard time with 24 time zones, each with 15 degrees of longitude. And it was 1911 when France joined this agreement and standardised timekeeping became a reality in Europe for the first time. 1911! First. That was this morning!
What does the digital transformation mean for society's experience of time? By no means all, but many of those coming will be in the "ONLIFE" (Floridi) experience, will always on and everywherebe connected to what we still go to, the internet. It will be as much a part of life as the clock. Always present, even without turning the wrist.
Another, largely unimaginable turning point is also dawning: Intelligent machines seem like the invention of the T-shirt. We are talking about the "other life". Synthetic life,created by Synthetic biology. We do not create this life with our animalistic, sexual power, but with our digital and therefore thinking power: For the first time in millions of yearsliving beings, "Creatures" in the literal sense that would otherwise never have existed on earth. One cosmic revolution (Harari). Google it. Now.
