Are We Consuming or Being Consumed?

Defining technological strategy across society is dangerously inept. The problem at this time is how to deal with exponential growth in technologies. Exponential growth is producing effects that are pervasive across the globe and having an impact on almost every aspect of societies in both constructive and destructive ways.

While exponential growth is producing important changes in how societies function, technological strategies underpinning the definition and development of societies are most frequently not well aligned with the seismic growth in the basic technologies being deployed. Whenever the evolution of a technology base outstrips technological strategy and operational technique, there is increasing potential for disaster.

New technologies are deployed haphazardly with emphasis on monetization and used without a well-defined social strategy or commensurate conceptual coupling, resulting in a widening functional gap and deepening social failure.

Exponential growth in human interfaces with digital technologies for information-control, is arguably the defining trend in this decade, yet it is mostly not well understood. Some observers regard such growth with unbounded optimism.

Though haphazardly introducing technologies via market-driven profiteering and power-motivated designs poses grave and unprecedented dangers. Our attention is being distracted at ground level and social confusion is mounting. Take up the challenge by joining in the conversation. It’s Time..
