This has been an intense week for me. I learned a couple of new things is great. This last week I have
spoken to a lot of people from completely different backgrounds, countries and perspectives in life. I have come to realize that with all the technological revolutionary advancements of this day and age. Individuals are definitely smarter than they were say 100 years ago. Why? Well that is a simple answer.
The information revolution that we are living in and not only that, but they way we communicate has fundamentally changed us. Clear examples are social networks in this particular case Facebook. This tool allows you to stay connected with HUNDREDS of friends and enable us to EMULATE a virtual SOCIAL LIFE. Don’t get me wrong I am an IT guy and develop these things myself, and facebook is an incredible tool that allows to KEEP CONECTED with hundreds of people across the globe SIMULTANEOUSLY. That is powerful!! Thus I said KEEP CONECTED. In this day and age of such huge technological advancements and I all sorts of High-tech communication the idea of KEEPING CONECTED does not mean KEEPING GOOD SOCIAL SKILLS.
My objective point is that for such a highly technological advanced world our social skills are brutally diminished. We are still so tribal like-minded considering such incredible technological advancements. And we are just not able to keep up. The world has created smarted individuals but that doesn’t mean more socially capable. People remain within their social contexts and tribes and What I have come to discover is that we have so much in common with other tribes. This is virtually impossible to imagine until you experience it. What I mean by this is that, if people give instead of take, “socially speaking” results could be absolutely amazing and a total win-win situation. Why I mean by give is to be absolutely open and give yourself to the group in terms of ENERGY life experiences, opinions and emotions.
This is a proven way to ADD SOCIAL VALUE to a specific tribe. Evolutionary speaking we are wired to survive and replicate taking Richard Dawkings theory. This means if a member of a tribe adds a valuable scheme of thought, actions or emotions for the particular objective of the tribe in that specific moment in time. The incorporation and acceptance of the new member is immediate, and not only that, the tribe wants to be around that member, because he or she adds value to the social replication-reproductive pool. I don’t fully believe this human ROBOTIC theory, but we do behave like that in many respects. Ellen is gone to Nepal for 3 weeks and heading to India in another 3. I am so incredibly excited It is going to be my 3th time in India. I love this country so much because it allows you to feel and think stuff that you would have never imagined to think or feel. That is where the beauty of it lies. Finding people with Zero technological access but with incredible social value. I am all about adding incredible value and enriching myself in the process is a beautiful thing!!!!
