We need technological diversity.
- A few years ago I met the computer engineer Margarita Padilla and the researcher and political activist in techno-politics in a few meetings. Padilla showed up saying she worked "doing the Internet." That day, I didn't quite understand what I meant. I mean, the Internet could be thought differently.
In the last few days, I've met Chinese computer scientist and philosopher Yuk Hui, who is spinning around the same subject, and who calls "technological diversity" the idea of thinking about technology from other places and forms. It says that if we do not achieve technological diversity in the future, we can lose the cultural and biological diversity that we have today, as a homogeinizing technology that we have. According to Yuk Hui, the people who think and do the most widely used technology today are few people in the world and belong to specific places in the world. This reality, to the extent that it is not a neutral technology, can lead us to lose the knowledge of people who understand life and relationships with nature in other ways.
The book Follow with Donna Haraway's problem comes to mind. Among other things, this work shares with the reader the passion to represent the new worlds of fiction Ursula Levin, which we have to keep thinking and rethinking things.
Both Hui and Haraway think that in the future our planet will move from a natural environment mediated by technology to an environment created by nature and technology. And that the form it takes will depend on the relationships that humans want to have with other living beings. How do we want these relationships to be?
