The earth and its claims

Abstract

We have to go through a time when speed has become a central issue in the management of life and perhaps, especially, in the management of the human experience. We perceive ourselves as extremely expeditious, efficient, accurate and even infallible. The powerful idea (fiction) that everything, absolutely everything, is just a click away, has probably permeated our character and our convictions, the image of becoming trapped on a screen. The extension of the brain in unsuspected terms. The past time, the time that is passing and the time to come, together even, all that, we intend to carry in the palm of our hand. Thus, the algorithms are in charge of adjusting, selecting and enhancing the memory and consciousness of a present pregnant with a future tailored to certain interests that, paradoxically, "invite us to free ourselves from the obligation of a future."
