Technophobia is not a new issue is the brain's normal response to socio-culturally adapted a way of thinking, doing and thinking about ways of working. History is full of these reactions, loaded with Manichaeism, encrypted between good and bad technologies, read good and bad cultural works. For example, there were three cases of "weakness of mind" for liability of the new gadgets.
1. "For those who learn this art will cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful; rely on writing to bring memories to his memory by external signs instead of through their own internal resources. What we've discovered is a medicine for memory, not memory. (Plato, Phaedrus).
2. "In short, he became so absorbed in his books that he spent his nights reading clear in clear and cloudy days in cloudy, and so little sleep and much reading, he dried the brain, So he lost the trial (Cervantes, Don Quixote de La Mancha).
3. "The Red discourages thinking carefully, we are bombarded with distractions and interruptions, and as a result, I think it weakens our apacity to filter out distractions and focus on one thing, or a line of thought for a lengthy period of time" (Nicholas Carr , interview).
- First case: the critical writing unliquidated memory capacity and also kill the teacher's voice.
- Second case: the possibility of loss due to reading, which is nothing to travel to different worlds.
- Third case: the danger of losing his concentration and lost in an abyss multifaceted.
The first two cases, and the picture above, were the "reflexes" that is generated in my mind when reading the article " a distracted world "and the interview in cultural-virtual Agora on the effects of the Internet, both of Nicholas Carr
A tale of this, I just want to say is that on the one hand, you should not call attention to the attitude of suspicion about the "evil interference" of a technology in mind. But on the other hand, do not forget that the mind is mind manipulated by all the cultural tools physical and symbolic, and that no other form of cognitive development. The mind is orchestrated culturally each tool adds cognitive residue with which it operates, and this manipulation is done in social conditions.
mind So there is a Robinson Crusoe or nuetras tools. As Bruner points out in his book "Education, Culture door" following the sociocultural orientation instrumental mediation (see Mediation Triangle vigostkyano): "culture shapes the mind, which gives us the toolkit through which we construct not only our worlds but our own conceptions of ourselves and our powers. " But what about multitasking generated by Internet? Is this possible?
The current warning, at least lately highlighting Carr, is related to loss of concentration at the mercy of Internet activity multifaceted, multitasking. Dolors Reig on " v vs Igil and punish. learning machines "is the theme and emphasized that the multitasking, simultaneous attention to multiple tasks at once, there is nothing but sequential attention. What we do to speak of multitasking, as noted by Christakis is really oscillation between activities, not a simultaneous ability to pay attention to everything at once ... it can not do mind.
Is it negative? First, the use of the Internet is one of the many ways mediating very close to the current generation, hence should not be rare-or-raise disturbing influences in the mind influences whether, in individual operations, the creation of metaphors, in developing strategies, etc ... but does not alter the structural nature of the mind . Second, the mind of a digital native is not a multitasking mind, its central focus coexists with secondary attention if eye, these are mechanical secondary tasks simultaneously paying attention ... two tasks that require a high level of care is not possible, the brain prioritize and sequence tasks.
Well, the mind with the Internet are exposed to new tasks, but can not give what does not.
