Technology created, society changing
"First we create the tools, then the tools create us. " Marshall McLuhan
Hello community of Project Hope and hive in general, I hope you are having a productive week, full of energy possibility to create doing what you like. Today I have found the phrase that I start this publication and has inspired me to write about it, follow me to know what I want to raise from this phrase, with which I agree.
We can understand the word tool as some instrument that facilitates the execution of a work, and it can be used in the context of manual work as well as in computer science, in social networks, as well as in many other ways.
He will repeat the phrase: "First we create the tools, then the tools create us." Marshall McLuhan, What do you think when you read it? I want to emphasize the use of the word tool within the technological framework, since technology is without a doubt one of the main tools of today, and it serves to perfectly exemplify what I want to say, what that phrase made me think when I read it.
Considering the internet as a great tool, which allowed the creation of so many things, and above all ways of communicating, at least in my opinion, it was little by little after its creation being used more and more, at the beginning as an advertising tool, which allowed to reach more people in less time, but as time went by new ways of communicating were created making use of this technological tool called internet.
It became necessary to create more powerful computers that allowed a better and wider use of this (internet) that as a kind of blood allowed to keep in touch. This is how smart phones came about, which are becoming more and more advanced, allowing communication not only by means of messages, photography and calls, but thanks to the unification of visual and auditory things it is now possible to make video calls.
A great tool, without a doubt, however, was created first to facilitate many processes, and it has done so, but doesn't it seem to you that the internet has changed absolutely everything in our society? .
I can say in particular that nothing is the same as when I was 10 years old, and in a little more than two decades the world has changed radically, the social structures are not the same, although in essence we are still fighting for the same thing.
This technological tool has changed the world radically since its creation, there are things that have improved, unquestionably, but I also believe that part of the human side of humanity has been lost, and I can say that the social side is now conceived from another point of view, which cannot be separated from the technological side, because obviously, social change has come after a great change in everyone's mentality.
This is my conclusion, and I agree that behind the creation of a tool for social impact, there is usually an adaptation of society based on this tool, and you don't think so?
Thank you very much for reading me. I would like to read in the comments what you think about it.

You reached a fine conclusion here. Society will always tailor the technology to fit its needs. It is why I am skeptical about the idea of AI taking over the world and replacing man.
Yes, it becomes necessary @gandhibaba to be clearer that in the end the technological is produced by man, and it is supposed to be always under the control of its creator, at least in theory.
Thank you for commenting.
People are becoming more introverted
That is a reality, everyone is getting into their own mental world, not caring much about anything else.

Hello friend @josevas217 an interesting publication, I think that sentence leaves an impact, today technology has radically changed the way we live and socialize with other people, I also think it has influenced many young people to expose themselves in a negative way or that certain mental disorders are created just for wanting to please the rest of society. At first we wanted to solve a problem but I think that now we have many more.
Greetings, without a doubt we have gone through many drastic changes, with the arrival of the internet we have immersed ourselves in a virtual world, which for those who know how to use it is very productive. We have had a great adaptation with this tool, which is already a fundamental part of our lives.
See you later, have an excellent week !
