The Covid-19 disaster and what future for the modern world?

According to an article posted on the Global Institue for Tomorrow (GIFT) website, the answer is Covid-19 shows that the future of the world is biological, not digital.

Covid-19 shows that the future of the world is biological, not digital. (Source: CNN) Millions of people around the world are viewing images of desperation in many parts of India as infection rates exceed 300,000 cases per day. Reports show severe hypoxia in the South Asian country with a double-strain variable, accompanied by images of corpses waiting on pavements, when crematoriums become overwhelmed, even. in the capital New Delhi. At the end of March, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a draft report on the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic with findings that many have come to expect: SARS-CoV-2 virus may have been Spread from animals to humans. It can be said that the uninteresting cause has caused the biggest global turmoil in a century, and just as it has caused many earlier pandemics in history: Human card in nature. At the same time, the world may be coming to the end of an era of digital hype. Sharp warning For years, it has been said that digital technology will lead the world to a future without scarcity. Yet the reality of the pandemic is a sharp warning about how the real world can reverse fantastical, unrealistic delusions. Every new technological advance promises a fundamental transformation of society, eliminating inefficiencies and inequality and empowering people through division of labor. Blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and 3D printing technology are hailed as the leading flags bringing about major changes in lifestyles and working, not only in developed countries but also in underdeveloped countries. lice in countries with no basic living conditions. The belief in technology may even be reflected in the Western response to the pandemic. Instead of considering the social commitment citizens engage in – placing the collective interest above individual rights by requiring masks and implementing other restrictions – and having a strong public health response, rapidly to control the Covid-19 outbreak, Western countries were again hoping to develop vaccines as a last resort, and at the cost of large-scale economic disruption and commodity disruption. hundred thousand people died. In the US alone, a study has shown that hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved during a pandemic if previous regulations on blockades, masking and social segregation were strictly enforced. . The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused global chaos because of its ability to enter the human body through biological transmission and disrupt the functioning of organs in the body. Vaccines that prevent viruses are seen as a mechanism that promotes the human body’s natural response to infection. If humans want to avoid another global health disaster, humans need to restrain their growth, stop attacking natural and biological systems based on the argument that all other living entities must be subordinated. for human development. The need for economic development has destroyed the natural world so much that disasters such as the Covid-19 pandemic are more likely to occur as population and human greed lead to self-exploitation. course more. The time has come to stop these attacks. Maintain integrity and resonance Human survival depends on maintaining the integrity and resonance of natural systems and internal biological processes. That includes habitats, objects that enter the human body (pollutants and viruses), things people consume (water, air and food), and the biological effects of waste produced by children. maker. During the early months of the pandemic, reports showed that the Earth was benefiting from reduced greenhouse gas emissions, as the majority of the middle and upper classes could study remotely and work from home. However, the switch to working from home is not without consequences for the environment. The more secluded lifestyles have to depend on people who work in the real world, produce and process food, feed the groceries and deliver food to people at home. Goods ordered online still have to be transported by means of transport such as ships, vehicles and need to be delivered by the delivery person. Meanwhile, infrastructure in the real world has been deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Essential workers around the world, whether in hospitals, meat packers in the US, construction sites in Singapore or glove manufacturers in Malaysia, have all been hit hard by the boom. Play by Covid-19. This suggests that we not only need to limit encroachment on the natural world, but also need to invest more in basic protective measures (also known as “guaranteed resilience”) such as supply. safety and assurance of food, water, sanitation, housing, a good public health system and access to energy. Forecasts suggest that the human population will peak 10 billion by 2064, and greater pandemic risks will accompany other man-made threats, from climate change and biodiversity loss to Vulnerable food systems and limited available land. Digital technologies can play a role in mitigating and countering such threats only when people are imbued with the fact that human existence is fragile and fully dependent on a suitable biosphere. The sooner people realize that truth, the sooner people can be sure that technology development efforts are put into ideas that really help people, and not in utopian plans. should come from the narrow definition of human evolution.
