I believe that the central idea of the ted talks made by Rushkoff is discuss the implications for the human future of the digital era. In this sense, Douglas believes that today technology meets the objectives of the market and not of human development. He said that today digital information is made to predict your future behaviors and be able to influence them.
That is terrible!! since the information is not used for a greater social welfare, to make better public policies or to allow a better exchange of experiences between people ¡information is for the powerful people! It is assumed that the digital era offers tools for human development, but as Douglas says these are inhuman at their core.
And worst, the powerful people are not worried about how to stop the social catastrophe, less the digital extractivism, they are worried about how maintaining their power after the crisis. They think of a bunker, an escape, an individualistic salvation. That is why it is important to join the "Team Human", the rest we will have to face the global crisis collectively.
In my opinion the most important thing is give a new meaning to the digital in the spaces of each one; in how we use the information and why, but above all, how much time we decide to spend with our loved ones and how much of our energy will be invested in helping the other people.
