We are increasingly, comfortably, surrounded and exposed to technology but it also seems that little by little we are being replaced by our own creations.

At a time when finding a job is quite an arduous task, we are seeing that the greater technological development is causing entire workforces, as in some production plants, to be fully mechanized. They no longer need people for certain functions and the trend is that inventions are invading us in more and more areas of our lives.

In many cases this is positive, current communications flow at the speed of wi-fi and we can avoid waiting for the messenger to bring you the letter or the sealed parchment as in the past. We also have more information at the click of a button. And in other more specific cases, many have been able to enjoy these important advances in the field of medicine for example, and it must also be admitted that many machines now do the hard work, we could no longer live without a washing machine but neither could they be manufactured many things without many computerized gadgets, nor could anyone imagine an office without a computer on the table.

But what will happen with the "handmade" or "homemade" or the "direct customer service"? It is clear that we will continue to need people to continue doing some of those things or even others, because we will have to learn to perform other tasks that even now we do not know. What will today's students work on in the future?

Little by little we will have to specialize, to adapt to other needs and to acquire new knowledge because we will have to focus on the potential and qualities that we can develop in the best and most efficient way, always being obviously productive. Find the perfect synergy.

Therefore, we must look to the future not with fear or resignation but with creativity and ingenuity, starting from now to redirect our careers or shape them according to our environment. Globalization is a phenomenon that came into our lives and it seems that it pushes us to another type of life, both on a personal level (other types of relationships, consumption ...) and on a professional level, due to what it entails at the level of markets, competitiveness and typology of work.

For this reason, there are those who already suggest that children start from school to study programming, since it will be one of the languages ​​of the future, because it was something that would be necessary to function better in such a global world, which is now.

All this seems to make sense, it is what evolution entails, new technologies emerge almost every day without ceasing to amaze us, and we do not stop thinking about everything we can do shortly. Yes, in a short time, because if something characterizes our moment is speed, everything is done quickly, everything is needed quickly, and we even feel that days, months and years go by very quickly. There are many things to do and immediacy is essential.

Is that fast acceleration always good? Does technology help us as much as we think? Well, on the one hand, technology is very practical, yes, but on the other... like everything it also has its problems or drawbacks, as often happens, if it is used without control.

Personally, I would not want to live in a dehumanized world full of almost self-sufficient machines as the planet appears in many of those futuristic movies. There is a human essence that should be preserved in all those areas where there is less and less of what is natural, such as in personal relationships (there are those who only look at their mobile and not the eyes of the people who are by their side) or in food production (we know that we are eating more and more artificial filth camouflaged in unintelligible nomenclatures) and at other levels you will surely have also debated how things have changed.

We may not be able to reduce all our tech activity but to be able to use many of the machines we use with common sense and not with addiction or madness. In some cases, there may even be ethical conflicts or, as we have seen in the workplace, it can have uncertain future consequences. Are we sufficiently prepared to use more evolved technology? Shouldn't we also be more evolved?

In addition, total dependence on something sometimes brings other problems (social or health issues), and let's just imagine...

what will we do if there is a blackout?!
