IPAD, un nuevo concepto socio-educativo!

One of the best descriptors of our potential future world was explored in a recent paper by cyberneticist Francis Heylighen titled: Return to Eden? Promises and Perils on the Road to Superintelligence.

Here I summarize the main technological mechanisms as described by Heylighen. I hope you will quickly realize the point of this exercise. In 2014, we live in a world with global brain technology.

Promise #1: Omniscience

- Internet of things (IoT)

Promise 4: Omnibenevolence

Important mechanisms:

- Higher education
