Remember the Tortoise? The Difference between Fast and Too Fast
Anca Neamtu (Cluj-Napoca)
Everything in the last years stood under the sign of “fast”. Way too fast,
one clear view might say today. But what is a ‘clear view’? And why is
evolution (especially high-tech) growing so fast? Do we need that? How
much and in what respects has our everyday life changed due to these too-fast
growing technological solutions and the acceleration of the dissemination
of information connected with them? Can we still cope, or do we need to
slow down, in order to go on ‘living’?
Therefore again my question: Remember the cartoon-race between the hare
and the tortoise? (Remember who won?...) Questions like the above and more
are aimed to be laid off and discussed within the presentation.
