A general opinion is that we are now living into a world driven by technological progress...
Actually we're not. We live in a world of profit progress driven by a reduced use of technology.
The only things that is dramatically increasing is the profit rate that we can see in the commercial entities which are developing themselves inside the post-capitalistic societies.
That profit rate is made possible by several tricks, one of them is using a degraded and reduced version of technological progress from the techno-science itself.
Techno-science has not access to freedom and autonomy and must be submissive to markets and profitable organizations often driven by very dumb people and individuals.
As a result, only the following directions have been artificially developed at a maximal scale:
- Digital computers
- Software orientated for mass consumption
- Video-based technologies
- Advertisement and marketing
- Mobile phones (smart phones)
- Toy robotics
- Bio-technology aimed at cosmetics
Since in post-capitalistic societies, spectacular-based goods are superior in value, profits and quantity to other goods, technology must be orientated so to follow that direction.
Techno-science is unable to develop priority targets such as :
- Space conquest
- Fusion energy
- Serious robotics
- Medical cyber-systems
- etc...
Contrarily to what many may think, the technology developed in the previous decades stays superior to what is not been developed now. In fact there are just no other technologies to replace them!
We are therefore technologically very late on what we should already have developed!
We should stop that condition and revert to a normal course, but the giant female brain which is now ruling our planet, has certainly other goals for us...
