At the beginning,
Reworking the foundations of our ultra-connected societies by putting human intelligence at the center of the debate is what the World Council of Technologies advocates.
In a not-so-distant future, imagine a world without the constant and omnipresent presence of smartphones. According to the World Council of Technologies (WCT), banning the excessive use of these devices is essential to stimulate human imagination to its fullest potential.
The WCT proposes a radical alternative to the growing dependence on technology: a global “technological disconnection.” This measure, although controversial, aims to reduce the use of smartphones, laptops, and other high-tech gadgets. This forced restriction would be offset by a wave of investments in creative education and art in all its forms. The ultimate goal, according to the WCT, is to awaken humanity’s dormant creativity, stifled under the weight of technology.
“It is high time to take back control of our creativity and imagination,” asserts Olivia Wylde, the fictional president of the WCT. “We have become so dependent on technology that we have forgotten how to think for ourselves. We have lost that sense of curiosity that is at the root of every great invention. It is time to bring that back into our lives.”
However, this dystopian future where technology is limited is a topic of debate. Some experts argue that humanity needs this technological evolution to progress, while others applaud the WCT’s vision and urge individuals to disconnect in order to reconnect with their human potential.
Overall, whether this scenario comes to fruition or not – it certainly offers food for thought. It may be a dystopian future – but it could also be an opportunity to rebalance the role of humans and technology in our society.
