The Failed Human Potential Of Digital Media

Digital networks were supposed to bring global connectivity leading to the expansion of human consciousness. Instead, people have become enormously skilled at being totally irrelevant.

We can now do so many things online, yet rarely if ever people have something meaningful to say that makes a difference in other people’s lives.

The moral of the story? That failed potential is innately human. We are only ever able to use technology advancements to the extent we have also evolved our own consciousness.

We’ve got the technology part of the equation under our belts already. So now, let’s focus on the human consciousness part of the equation.

We are using our innate human potential to externalize ourselves in the world, instead of using what the external world has to offer for our own betterment — to grow and raise our consciousness to lead more fulfilled and content lives. We have the technology advancement, but the dynamic of us using it is in reverse to what we should be doing.

Technology is NOT relevance. You have to have something relevant to say and then use the right medium for it to make your point relevant to the recipient.
