La poca Futura
07/04/2020
Durante estos ltimos a os hemos estado oyendo en numerosas ocasiones, que la tecnolog a estaba produciendo cambios tan estructurales en nuestras vidas, que realmente lo que est bamos viviendo era un cambio de poca.
Aunque no existe un acuerdo general sobre las distintas pocas de la historia y mucho menos si tenemos en cuenta todas las civilizaciones y culturas que vivimos en nuestro planeta, s que es verdad que los historiadores y resto de investigadores sociales encargados de periodizar nuestra historia, han llegado a acordar, al menos, las distintas pocas de nuestra civilizaci n occidental, como son las consabidas: prehistoria, edad antigua, edad media, edad moderna y edad contempor nea. La poca Contempor nea, esta ltima, la que nos ha tocado vivir.
Adem s me pregunto, si lo contempor neo abarca el presente, lo actual, lo que ocurre en el mismo momento que estamos viviendo ahora, cu ndo acabar esta poca de la historia? y cu l ser la poca que viene despu s? Despu s del presente, sin duda alguna, lo que viene es el futuro. Pero c mo vamos a llamar a la poca que vamos a vivir, el futuro, si ste es el que est por llegar. Parad jico. Yo creo que quienes a esta poca llamaron contempor nea, lo que anhelaban es que ya no hubiese otra m s. Quiz s, desear lo eterno.
Estamos leyendo tambi n ltimamente que la situaci n actual es de alguna manera un disparador o acelerador de un cambio que ya estaba ocurriendo. No cabe ninguna duda que el desarrollo de la sociedad digital en su conjunto, est haciendo que podamos vivir esta dram tica situaci n de mejor manera, con m s informaci n a nuestro alcance y dotando a las personas, organismos y empresas de un poder que sin la tecnolog a, se me antoja imaginar un contexto de realidad mucho m s letal y mucho m s lento de solucionar, como ocurri en otras ocasiones de la historia en similares situaciones.
El teletrabajo, los medios de comunicaci n, Internet, la inteligencia artificial y el desarrollo de los sistemas de informaci n y las comunicaciones en su conjunto, son sin duda una palanca que facilita y en algunos casos resuelve muchos de los problemas que esta situaci n est provocando, sobre todo la necesidad de comunicarnos. Estar aislados pero juntos.
A pesar de todo lo mencionado, lo nico que no me genera ninguna duda, es que sin la labor real, no virtual, de las personas que est n sosteniendo nuestra salud, nuestra seguridad, nuestro abastecimiento y dem s cosas imprescindibles para nuestra existencia, sin esa entrega, dedicaci n y generosidad de miles de h roes, de personas an nimas y humildes, ninguno de los graves problemas que est n pasando se podr an solucionar. Y a n m s, si me permiten, nada de esto tendr a sentido. Deber amos por tanto reflexionar sobre lo que verdaderamente est sucediendo y aprender de ello; pensar en lo esencial y necesario que como constructores de nuestra historia, determinamos como realmente imprescindible cuidar.
Claro que est bamos y estamos viviendo una poca de cambios continuos, donde debemos repensarnos todo. La pol tica, la econom a, la globalizaci n, las ideolog as, la religi n, la moral, la tica, la verdad, la justicia, la educaci n, los mitos, la ciencia, la investigaci n, la informaci n y un largo etc tera, muchas de ellas, cuestiones sobre las que, desde la m s lejana antig edad, grandes pensadores y cient ficos han reflexionado y escrito. Tras siglos de historia hemos heredado sus estructuras econ mico-sociales e ideol gicas, aunque seguramente muchos de estos aspectos no nos son v lidos con los esquemas actuales, porque nuestra sociedad, mejor dicho, las personas que vivimos en este mundo, no podemos seguir igual, crey ndonos que esto no tiene fin y que el planeta y nuestra sociedad del bienestar es algo infinito . Porque al final, todo es m s sencillo, nacemos, vivimos y morimos. Y mientras lo hacemos, nos dicen que tenemos libertad de decir y consumir lo que queremos, pero no nos ense an a pensar en lo que debemos hacer, que no es m s que entendernos a nosotros mismos y a lo que nos rodea. Y entender, de verdad, que es lo que nos separa y lo que verdaderamente nos une como seres humanos.
En fin, solamente quer a deciros que no suelo escribir mis pensamientos y hoy me he puesto a ello sin buscar ninguna conclusi n o sin pretender tener raz n en algo. Empec pregunt ndome cu ndo empezar a la Edad Futura, que me llevo a considerar la importancia de la tecnolog a en todo este proceso de cambio, para continuar evidenciando el valor del ser humano y su libertad de pensamiento. Llegando a la conclusi n de qui nes son nuestros verdaderos h roes (aunque a lo mejor algunos en esta poca van a tener la suerte de no necesitarlos). Y lo que pienso es, que esas personas heroicas ni son pol ticas, ni suelen salir hablando en p blico, seguramente no tengan habilidades art sticas ni deportivas, pero tienen un coraz n y un coraje, que ni el m s valiente de los h roes de la antigua Grecia les desmerece.
Ojal que la poca futura sea de ellos y no de los miserables. Que el futuro sea de los que dudan y no de los que se creen que tienen la raz n. Que sea de los que dan y no de los que se aprovechan.
Siendo optimista creo que en esta ocasi n, vamos a salir pronto de ello y ni van a caer imperios, aunque podr a ocurrir y que tampoco se va a hundir la econom a, aunque lo vamos a pasar muy mal por un tiempo, todav a sin conocer. Pero como tambi n soy un realista interesado por entender todo lo que me rodea, se que esta situaci n va a dejar mucho dolor por los seres queridos y mucho dolor de trabajos y sue os pe
