Technology and Temporality - Accelerated History of the World
摘要
Authors seek to illuminate the cause-and-effect relationship between technological progress and the perception of space and time. One of the problematic questions in this research is: How do modern technologies shape our experience of the world? In the accelerated history of the world, in the new dromological dynamics, Homo sapiens experiences the overall character of the changing way we perceive space and time. Can technological acceleration be recognized as a kind of “Moloch of modernity” or a source of long-term uncertainty, or as a promising potential/liberating force? The new science, dromology, seeks to analyze the impact of speed on our overall interactions, social processes, in a holistic manner. Are we witnessing a new paradigm of space and time? Technological Rationality, Digital Insecurity, Fluid and Temporally Transparent Identities are just segments in a world that is rapidly and irreversibly technicizing.
