Animals use their abilities to satisfy their needs, the tiger is characterized by its claws, teeth, strength and speed to kill the ruminant that feeds it, we lack those characteristics of the big cats, to satisfy our needs we have created the tools through a process that transcends human history for thousands of years at first prehistory because we were nomads and then with the neolithic revolution when we invented agriculture and started animal husbandry we abandoned nomadic life and began to live in cities, with the revolution the neolithic revolution we reached the current era we can say that humanity has a different reality from the animals, the animals live in an eternal present we have created with culture and gradually as it has advanced and has been enriched with technological advances We have been moving away from physical reality to enter a new reality. It is created by our mind and by the many technological tools that reality from the last 30 years we have dominated virtual reality.
But before talking about virtual reality, let us understand the technological reality of the human being, it is what has separated us from the biological world of plants and animals through the different technological revolutions:
Neolithic Revolution: agriculture and animal husbandry made it possible for we will begin to live in cities.
Industrial Revolution: at the end of the 18th century the development of machines.
Revolution of the combustion engines, to then move on to the communications revolution, which began with the railway, accelerated with the plane and with land transport, the appearance of the radio, the telephone, television, the cinema and the printing press.
But it is from the Cybernetic Revolution with the appearance of computers where the world enters a new stage, the new and the Fourth Industrial Revolution that in everyday life what touches us as people is the immersion of all a virtual reality that is being developed at this time for us through social networks, we are building a new reality, we call it virtual reality, because it is replacing that bodily and biological reality with that human dimension where communications take place face to face where there was the possibility of physical contact that today becomes more distant as our communications are based more on virtual reality.
This new technological reality that we are building through gadgets and social networks, today we use most of our waking hours to build cyberspace, our young people under 20 years of age are the most relevant example of this new reality that we have built from this new technological reality the detractors speak of a kind of falsity of this reality I do not dare to say that it is entirely bad nor am I capable of affirming that it is totally good because I consider physical contact necessary face-to-face conversation face going out or being together with the person that is appreciated or loved, that is still necessary, that if that virtual reality in which we do not immerse prevents us from carrying out that face-to-face relationship with another person is when we can say that it is Too bad that virtual reality for the human being would be a matter of finding a balance, sharing with others and taking advantage of the immense capabilities that it offers us cyberspace I do not know how to answer because in everything there is always personal choice although I think that a person who spends his life in integration in cyberspace away from all physical contact with other human beings will not be completely human and I do not dare to say that it is bad I simply belong to a generation that I can live without cyberspace I find that cyberspace has many capabilities but I need a lot of physical contact with other human beings to talk to do things to travel to build together and that is where the balance point is for me , cyberspace cannot deprive me of physical contact with other human beings.
OUR REALITIES
Physical reality biological reality and human realities.
Physical reality: it is what contains us, any of us is located at a certain point on the earth's crust, any of us is located at a certain point on this planet and this planet is within a solar system, which is within a galaxy and so on, the physical reality that contains us is also given by the air, by the rocks, the water, the minerals, the elements that exist, from the physical world we go to the biological world, the biological world also contains us, we have a body that responds to a specific biology, our human body, we have to feed it, we are born we grow we reproduce and we die that is our biological reality.
That would be our second reality, our corporeal reality but the infinitely varied happens in the mind of the human being before talking about it we have to refer to the world of the reality of our emotions, our emotions are capable of overpowering our good judgment, if we don't handle it properly Our emotions can even hinder our daily work life and relationships, our world of emotions is very rich, it causes us our joys, the seat of our loves, also our sadness, our anger and hatred, our emotional reality configures our feeling. Let's talk a little about the reality of language, because it is through language that we understand the world, what we can explain and know about our body, including our emotions, because although we feel emotions we can only explain them through language.
Language is what makes us human, thanks to language we think, but we can also express what we feel through language. And thanks to language we are transforming our body and our emotions and our external world we are also transforming it with our language, because science is a derivation of human language and through science applying the knowledge that we acquire with it we develop technology and apply technology We have built a new world.
Conclusion
We could say that our fantasy was our first virtual reality, we created fictitious worlds and beings through literature, our fantastic stories acquiring the appearance of reality through cinema and now through artificial intelligence we can create robot automatons that are beings capable of multiple tasks, also through virtual reality gadgets we can already experience situations that have not occurred in the physical world such as the simulation of a flight or the absence of gravity, among others. It is also possible to replace hands, arms, legs and feet with functional prostheses, technology is making our imagined realities materialize in the physical world, perhaps it is not very far from creating transhuman beings that combine biology and technology in their body in an integrated way.
