New Technology and Old Religion.
The Hindu, 12 May 2017.
| Abstract: |
The Oracle has spoken. His vision will soon become your personal gadget. In the latest F8 annual global developer
conference last month, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, announced his vision of new technologies. He
wants to change our lives by changing the way we perceive, engage and experience the real world around us. He
wants to create augmented reality to spice up the mundane reality of our everyday world such as using an app to fill
a cereal bowl with images of tiny swimming sharks.
Augmented reality is like this. It begins with dissatisfaction with the way the world appears before us. It panders to
the worst of our human desires when it creates a world which is special to each one of us as if the world should be
amenable to our desires rather than the other way around. |
