How Tell I Like Scorpio

Mauro Rubin - Extending our senses in the real world

Over the past 5 years have developed new models of social cooperation have been opened markets and channels of communication technology.

smartphones (and flat rates of Telco) allow us to show our position at all times ( foursquare.com ), our tastes and interests ( facebook.com / twitter.com ) and daily images Divita ( flickr. com / Youtube.com ). find and share information has become easy and affordable for all ( wikipedia.org).

The media have evolved so fast that the world was unable to metabolize as they change. E 'was sufficient to introduce an application that would provide the reading of "digital newspaper" to disrupt the publishing industry (though increasing dissemination of the tablet).

The world of politics (the Italian one in particular) is daily confronted with the media content (blogs, videos, podcasts, etc ...) that trace the choices, opinions, even the life of every representative of party, and raise the immediate reaction of 'public opinion. There are even examples of programs with civic electoral lists created collectively through the network.

Recently we have witnessed an event which shook the government: the publication on the net ( Wikileaks ) of confidential information. When you read reports of U.S. secret services on your iPhone you can not help but realize that the world has changed.

As Derrick de Kerckhove said , father of theory of collective consciousness " II computer is a psycho-technology, which is an extension of our thinking that is expressed through language, extension of our mind .

We have extended our thinking through a network of global public. But this is not a point of arrival but of something revolutionary: the extension of our senses and our perceptions in the real world through the camera.

Then there are the physical limits of aesthetics .

Until a few years ago a man with no legs could run only on a wheelchair. Then came that Pistorius has proven otherwise, and Wired has a cover made with Aimee Mullins. A beautiful portrait and no embarrassment for perfect aesthetics.

And the future?

The spread of networked sensors and drones will allow us to combine reality and digital worlds. The future of the Internet of Things is, and will be even more closely linked to augmented reality. In a few months we get information about everything around us with new emerging technologies.

We drive a drone, for example, using as a console glasses and our hands. The above Niagara Falls and its sensors (visual and olfactory) garantirĂ l'esperienza immersive driving a full-blown.

will increase our ability to learn through simulations that operate through the winning combination reality / interactive virtual objects . Being in a place not preclude the possibility of interacting with objects that are physically in another.

After the sharing of knowledge will open up the possibility of the use of open source objects to experiences.
