1. Kevin Kelly says: ‘Technology is an extension of life’.
Life is information all along; we have learn and evolve through time reaching high levels of information flow drawn by the constant
increase of technologic systems. In fact the flow of energy density per second is greater nowadays than 5 years ago. In fact the flow of
energy density is greater in life than in a Star, because of the Star’s lifespan. The greatest density of energy observed in the universe is
actually in a small PC chip.
* If we wonder how the technological landscape ahead of us will look like, we can be
sure that it will display large numbers of information every second.

2. Technology brings power to people allowing
them to break Natural boundaries such as
Space&Time with 24/7 connectivity (presence)
multitasking devices centralizing other technologies in
a smaller but greater new technology, (retro-feeding itself //
like fashion.)
Technology use the same devices we use. But
Technology challenges them and use them to
feed new Technologies in a new Device.

a computer costing $3,000.00 in 1997 would
cost $2,000.00 two years later and only
$1000.00 the following year.

3. EVOLUTION – Information Storage/ Information Flow
# Information storage
– The world's technological capacity to store information grew from:
2.6 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 1986
to 15.8 in 1993,
over 54.5 in 2000,
and to 295 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 2007.
– This is the informational equivalent to less than one 730-MB CD-ROM per person in:
1986 (539 MB per person),
roughly 4 CD-ROM per person of 1993,
12 CD-ROM per person in the year 2000,
and almost 61 CD-ROM per person in the world, in 2007.
# Information transmission
– The world’s technological capacity to receive information through one-way broadcast networks was:
432 exabytes of (optimally compressed) information in 1986,
715 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 1993,
1.2 (optimally compressed) zettabytes in 2000,
and 1.9 zettabytes in 2007
(this is the information equivalent of 174 newspapers per person per day).
-The world's effective capacity to exchange information through two-way telecommunication networks was:
281 petabytes of (optimally compressed) information in 1986,
471 petabytes in 1993,
2.2 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 2000,
and 65 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 2007
(this is the information equivalent of 6 newspapers per person per day).

4. Speed of transition

5. If we look to the evolution of life in other species trying
to spot a trend we see that evolution is reaching great
levels of complexity and sophistication – and that is the
natural trend of technologic evolution – specialization,
diversity in Life and diversity in the things we make-.
Complexity brings a different issue, and it is the amount
of energy required per gram or per second. As much
complex and specialized things are, the most energy you
need to support them.
The graph shows that ¾ of the energy we use is actually
to feed the technology we consume. As much complex
our tech consumption gets the more power is required
to keep the level of performance expected: that brings a
huge increase in the energy flow per second, in other
words Technology by nature needs to be feed with
technology - technology wants battery, more
technology, new pieces, new designs -

6. Technology wants complexity, it wants this so much that has been really complicated
and there are few points of view on how technology must be alike. iPhone and Android:
different technologic cultures. Devices work as doors to reach content - after
establishing different codes/ language within this technologic landscape. This is
specialization, fragmentation. Social Separation – with social values attached.

7. However Technology brings us progress, this progress has costs beyond environmental consequences.
Old tech lies in piles as rubbish after been considerate obsolete. “Up to 900 containers a week are arriving in Africa and Asia from
Western Europe and the US, according to e-waste experts.” http://www.computerweekly.com/photostory/2240108568/Photos-Devastating-
