Integration between organic and inorganic
The speed at which technology is advancing is impressive, and we often feel overwhelmed by the amount of information presented to us every day. Compared to machines, our visual, auditory, and sensory capacity is limited. Machines can see beyond our limits, listen to sounds that we do not perceive, and process data that continually eludes us as humans.
In this sense, we find ourselves at a disadvantage compared to machines, but at the same time, we have the ability to process data differently and more completely than machines: our humanity and our way of thinking are so far inimitable and precious. We are able to analyze and interpret data emotionally, integrating our personal experiences and cultural background.
We must also consider the ethical aspect of the relationship between man and machine. Machines can quickly and efficiently analyze large amounts of data without the possibility of human error. However, the ability to analyze data must be used responsibly and legally. Also, we must not forget that machines do not have consciousness, empathy, or morality, at least with the AI algorithms used so far. It is up to us, as human beings, to decide how to use these technologies for the common good.
For this reason, an organic-inorganic integration would allow us to take the best of "both worlds": for example, we could see at 5000 frames per second, perceive ultrasound, and even the spectrum of color frequencies such as ultraviolet and infrared. We are now almost blind and deaf compared to machines' visual, auditory, sensory, and processing capabilities. We feel like we cannot compete with their efficiency and accuracy, a gap that cybernetics could solve: technology is constantly evolving, bringing with it new opportunities and challenges. We are still only at the beginning of this revolution, and we must fully exploit the potential that technology offers us, without losing control. We must be able to maintain our role as critical users of these new technologies, avoiding becoming slaves to technology itself.
In summary, technology is transforming our way of seeing and perceiving the world. We are getting closer and closer to a reality in which technology will allow us to overcome our biological limitations, but we must be aware of the challenges that await us and the opportunities that this revolution offers us.
