The Psychosocial Reality of Digital Travel: Being in Virtual Places
By Ingvar Tjostheim, John A. Waterworth. 2022
This open access book takes a fresh look at the nature of the digital travel experience, at a time when…
more and more people are engaged in online social interaction, games, and other virtual experiences essentially involving online visits to other places. It examines whether these experiences can seem real to the virtual traveller and, if so, under what conditions and on what grounds. The book unpacks philosophical theories relevant to the feeling of being somewhere, emphasising the importance of perception and being-in-the-world. Notions of place are outlined, based on work in tourism studies, human geography, and other applied social fields, with an aim to investigate how and when different experiences of place arise for the traveller and how these relate to telepresence – the sense of being there in another place through digital media. Findings from recent empirical studies of digital travel are presented, including a survey from which the characteristics of “digital travellers” are identified. A review of selected interactive design trends and possibilities leads to the conclusion, which draws these strands together and looks to the future of this topical and expanding field.Futureproof: 9 reglas para los humanos en la era de la automatizacion
By Kevin Roose. 2021
«Una guía concisa, esclarecedora y sofisticada para defender los valores humanos en la nueva era de las máquinas.» The New…
York Times Book Review Las máquinas ya están aquí. Los algoritmos dan forma a todo lo que nos rodea: los programas que vemos, la música que escuchamos, los productos que compramos o las relaciones que creamos. Y mientras seguimos inmersos en el eterno debate de si la automatización destruirá nuestros puestos de trabajo, ignoramos una pregunta importante: ¿Qué significa ser humano en un mundo diseñado cada vez más por y para las máquinas? En Futureproof: 9 reglas para los humanos en la era de la automatización, el columnista de The New York Times Kevin Roose rechaza la creencia popular de que para competir con las máquinas tenemos que parecernos a ellas: hipereficientes esclavos de los datos. Mantiene, en cambio, que debemos enfocarnos en desarrollar las actividades creativas, inspiradoras y relevantes que nos distinguen como seres humanos. Roose revela los secretos de las personas y las organizaciones que han sobrevivido al cambio tecnológico y explica cómo podemos proteger nuestro futuro con lecciones como: Regla 1. Sé sorprendente, sociable y excepcional Regla 2. Resiste el embate de las máquinas Regla 3. Haz a un lado tus dispositivos Regla 4. Deja huella Regla 5. No seas un punto de conexión Regla 6. Trata la IA como si fuera un ejército de chimpancés Regla 7. Construye redes grandes y pequeñas Regla 8. Aprende humanidades para la era de las máquinas Regla 9. Arma a los rebeldes Una guía pragmática y esperanzadora sobre cómo defendernos del avance arrasador de las máquinas y prosperar en la era de la automatización convirtiéndonos en humanos irremplazables. Reseñas:«Una clara y convincente estrategia para superarla siguiente ola de la tecnología con nuestros trabajos (y almas) intactos. Tanto si eres optimista como pesimista sobre el futuro, Futureproof es la guía de supervivencia que necesitas.»Charles Duhigg, autor de Más agudo, más rápido y mejor y El poder de los hábitos «Kevin Roose nos enseña cómo las personas podemos hacer frente individualmente al cambio tecnológico anteponiendo siempre la humanidad.»Andrew Yang, candidato demócrata a la presidencia de EEUU y defensor de la renta básica universalMicrosoft Project For Dummies

LA RELACIÓN DEL PACTO CON DIOS, EL ESPÍRITU SANTO, Volumen 1, trata sobre cómo la “unidad del pacto” está unida…
por el vínculo del amor SANTO y conectada a través del Espíritu Santo. “…“ Dios con nosotros… ”(Mateo 1:23 LBLA). "... Dios es amor ..." (1 Juan 4: 4-8 KJV). "... Amor ... el VINCULO perfecto de UNIDAD ..." (Colosenses 3:14 LBLA). “… El que se une al Señor, es UN ESPÍRITU… [con Dios, el Padre por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor]…” (1 Corintios 6:17 RV). LA RELACIÓN DEL PACTO CON DIOS, EL ESPÍRITU SANTO, Volumen 2, trata sobre la transformación del alma perdida y espiritualmente muerta en un "alma viviente". “... De modo que si alguno (mujer) está en Cristo, nueva criatura es: las cosas viejas pasaron; he aquí todas son hechas nuevas ... ”(2 Corintios 5:17 RV). "... y el hombre (mujer) se convirtió en un alma viviente (de nuevo) ..." (Génesis 2: 7 KJV). LA RELACIÓN DEL PACTO CON DIOS, EL ESPÍRITU SANTO, Volumen 3, partes A y B, trata sobre la “unidad del pacto” siendo la fuente para suplir TODAS las necesidades del pueblo de Dios: “… Dios suplirá todas [sus necesidades]…” (Filipenses 4:19 LBLA). “… Dios te proveerá generosamente todo lo que necesites…” (2 Corintios 9: 8 NTV). "... [de Dios] ... el Espíritu Santo ... es la FUENTE [de TODO] ..." (1 Corintios 12: 4-11 NTV). Dios, como la FUENTE de TODO, se refiere al Espíritu Santo como el ORIGEN del cual se obtienen principalmente las NECESIDADES de su pueblo. "... Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega ..." (Apocalipsis 1: 8 NASB). “... Yo ... [SOY] ... el primero, y con el postrer ... '" (Isaías 41: 4 NASB). DIOS, el Espíritu Santo), y aparte de [su PALABRA] nada [VIENE] a existir que [haya o VOLVERÁ] a existir ... (Juan 1: 1-4 LBLA). Dios es el ORIGEN. "..." YO SOY QUIÉN SOY ... ”(Éxodo 3: 14-15 NASB).Dios El Espiritu Santo: Cuaderno De Trabajo Del Estudiante

con Jesús, la Palabra! "Yo y mi padre somos [no simplemente cercanos, sino]… UNO." (Juan 10:30 KJV). Jesús NO dijo que él y su padre estaban cerca, sino que era “UNO”. Estar cerca implica una cercanía, pero “uno” implica una sola unidad o un todo indiviso. En hebreo, la definición de unión (echadh) es “unidad”. Esta unidad es, ante todo, SANTA y única para Dios y Jesús (Deuteronomio 6:4). JESÚS es la PALABRA de DIOS. “… Él (Jesús) tenía un nombre escrito, que nadie conocía… su nombre era El Verbo de Dios…” (Apocalipsis 19: 12-13 NASB). La PALABRA de Dios Es ESPÍRITU. “…LAS PALABRAS QUE YO les hablo, SON ESPÍRITU…” (Juan 6:63 KJV) Así es, Jesús (LA PALABRA) es también ESPÍRITU. “…El señor es ESE ESPÍRITU…” (2 Corintios 3:17 KJV). Dios Es Espíritu. “…DIOS ES ESPÍRITU…” (Juan 4:24). Jesús (la palabra) es ESPÍRITU. “… El señor es ESE ESPÍRITU [¡TAMBIÉN!]…” (2 corintios 3:17 KJV). Dios es Espíritu y Jesús, la palabra es Espíritu. “… Yo y mi padre somos UNO…” (Juan 10:30 KJV). Los creyentes, ahora tienen el privilegio de decir, “… Yo y mi padre somos uno…, “TAMBIÉN”.Discovering Computers 2018: Digital Technology, Data, And Devices
