Mind Mapping--A New Global Consicioussness
Never before can we see the global sprawl take rise--in the process creating a global consciousness. As a people developing each continent and country over vast amounts of time, the internet in the silicon that is tying all the nodes of experience into one single, living entity.
In the past, we could talk about valuing individuals from across cultures. The internet, and the people who are making it what it is becoming--the tech behemoths, i.e., Google, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook, are the ones who are the designers of our future economy, the developers of a global mind, a shared wiring of all countries.
A cartography of the human experience, conditioned by technology to allow us to stare back at ourselves. If the 19th century led the way to establish the modes of crafting our individuality--the 21 century is responsible for establishing the global mind, securing a transhuman endeavor. The giants of the tech world are the scaffolding for our next step in the utterly vast, and dark universe.
Because such responsibility rests in the hands of a four large companies, it is important that we recognize the way in which they begin to represent our understanding of ourselves.
One the first steps in the meaning-making of our global consciousness is the Internet of Things . This is the idea that our environments become laced with our consciouness--in a word, the interiority of consciouness in has never been more fully realized in in our world, as technology promises to shade our entire existence with an augmented overlay, thus forcing us to see ourselves differently. This may seem the same as always--railroad, telephone poles, streetlights--have all been a sort of technological overlay over our entire world. Yet, the dephysicalization of new technology must operate upon our consciouness differently....or maybe it doesn't at all if you consider the research on phantom limbs. The augmented realities of the world may be of little consequences to our daily minds....time will tell...
