Conscious-technology

A network of definitions, or the interplay of six facets. 1) The merger of the human body and technology. With advances in bionics, we will gradually become cyborgs, who will be able to electronically link our bodies with external technology for worldwide communication of thought and action. 2) The implantation of intelligent computer programming in all our external technology – to our built environment and our conscious partners. Computer chips will be put in everything from houses to clothing with voice recognition and speech synthesizers. We will be able to have intelligent conversation and relationships with inanimate objects. 3) The appreciation of the dynamic relationship of technological advances and consciousness growth. Advances in technology alter our consciousness, which in turn invents new technology. It includes a new cultural norm that all technology is to be designed with the added criterion that it must enhance consciousness and cut the time lag between human thought and technological response as well as between technological finding and human cognition. 4) The merger of the mystic’s attitude toward the world and the technocrat’s methods of organization of the world. It is the understanding that without the best of the mystic we end up with a robot-like civilization and that without the best of the technocrat our civilization will lack the organization to absorb the pace of change and will crumble into chaos. 5) A new way to view things, as much as it is a new set of things to be viewed. Just as the Industrial Age gave us a way to view resources, it also gave us a vast array of machinery to be viewed. 6) A condition of civilization wherein the majority of people and intelligent technology are an interrelated whole. You would still be able to distinguish humanity from technology, as you can distinguish the color from the rose, but you would not be able to separate humanity from technology, just as you would not be able to separate the color from the rose.
