The same thing may end up happening with the digital revolution as with globalization (after all, digitalization is its main catalyst), in the sense that it has been done without control and has left behind large pockets of victims. In recent years, perhaps those of the 21st century, the digital revolution and its alter, automation, which we must remember have not brought large increases in jobs nor produced significant improvements in productivity, have coincided with a great growth of inequalities in each country and in the world. Ultimately, that is the question: a troubled river in which populisms have fished. It is in this context that the pandemic breaks out and produces a great acceleration in the analogue-digital transition, which may be developing like the globalizing process, without control, and which in certain areas may be overwhelming citizens.
This is the preamble. But it is advisable to separate the general issues from what specifically concerns our country, so as not to fall into a new Luddism or digital denialism. Quite the opposite: Spain (and the EU) have arrived late to all these changes, and of course to artificial intelligence, so we suffer the negative consequences of the process and do not take advantage of the good that it is also bringing. For a successful analog-to-digital transition, serious AOL Email List preparation is required. And keep in mind that, as Karl Popper said, there is no return to a state harmonious with nature. If we turn around, we will have to go all the way again and return to the beasts. So on the one hand it is said that Spain, and the EU (with a great disadvantage for the countries of the south compared to those of the north), run the risk of being left behind in the second cold war that is being fought between the States.
United and China for global technological hegemony; and it is true. But on the other hand, it is also true that in the digital world networks are used to manipulate and control public opinion, and crimes go ahead of the laws. It is as if digitalization had an existence split between a visible part and a dark side from which only gloomy news comes out. We have all seen how elections have been destabilized around the world. Among the great variety of perversions that the emergence of technological technologies (High Tech) is causing, not the least is the fact that our preferences are known before we have made them analogically public. As Mariana Mazzucato says, instead of creating new products by imagining what people might want, technology companies already know what we are going to want.
