Between Right and Wrong: Digital Technology and Social Media | Juan Carlos Vasconez | TEDxQuito


what is good and what is wrong

this has been a question that since

small has always accompanied me

what is right and what is wrong

is fine and what is wrong is not that

has always solved the question of the

better way in fact I remember that some

once I pushed my sister to the pool

dresses ready for a marriage or

I was also trying to see calibrate

the power of my pellet gun and

I did not think of a better way than

shoot her and other targets

close or what is good and what is

badly seriously has been a question that

that somehow was always what

that I never imagined is that I was going to

end up wearing black to

answer it

I think that I had done the

test though it was not exactly

I will never know if I had gone

better than mariachis but cure but

the issue is that this question always

he was present

they spent the years and studied in a

school then I went to college

I studied hygiene systems of the second

promotion of the catholic university

incredible and there in college

I met some wonderful people with

who started working the

typical works of the university and what

what happened was that we were going quite

decent the typical thing that you do not get

you wait so much but you do jobs and

get good grades and is and that’s how

when we were in the second year

we ask ourselves hey what we are

doing for the university because we

we put together and make a company and that was

the first venture

we started with these same companions

a company and this of course changes

a lot because you have to work you have

that then go hiring people why

You do not go, you just have to try

that at the end of the month have the money

enough to pay for those people

and of course this makes the questions

change was no longer what is good and what

it’s wrong but what else can I sell

that I have to give this client to

get a little more flow for me

for my company not

and of course it ‘s interesting because it’s thinking

also in the good of the client

think all the options weigh but

Of course this changes you a little

questions and was until he got me

agreement a company that proposed us

make a betting website when

the gambler in a casino the company

french

good and what is good and what is wrong

here maybe there are some things that what

well there the addiction there are things of

this style and I remember telling you

My associates

I would also like to study

moral theology philosophy is not something

to help me better solve these

questions

some of them was surprised but the

theme is that after a few

years after having been

working for ten years in this

entrepreneurship and in others more

the opportunity came to go to study

with a scholarship in europe

moral theology and recording is not going to

study moral theology

you have to hit them center not that

my hitting center was going to study

moral theology to the Vatican Rome and

it was an experience

awesome people with a background

completely different from mine that

he had so many ways to express his

faith and his way of being and such was a

incredible experience

in fact at the beginning the first

theology courses were very

interesting they helped me accept a

little more but they immediately told me

hey you have to look for someone who

direct the research horse wanted

To do a doctorate

the first step is to finish

the license degree then good

you have to make your license for that

you have to do an investigation

It looks great

then this was a fabulous thing that

I found a teacher of that

university that was an expert in

technology was devoted to studying the

morality of the acts of robots that

they replace humans

I have been many times in Japan

been in silicon valley I said this is my

man or here we have to get on

I approached him we talked we did

click

I immediately realized that this was a

good opportunity and then first thing

what he told me is that I had to reduce my

action radius I had to do

that my research will focus not

I could study technology in

general but I had to focus on

something had dedicated me these years

especially the internet which is what

more in vogue was facebook twitter and

what are the things we can say

from theology about networks

social

the interesting challenge proposed to me that

look for an abstract model that could

can then then put him in the part of

moral theology is to see what things

I had good and bad things

it is so after two years of

research reaches a model that

public flame interconnected the

interconnected public is an idea

developed by danny boyle who speaks

of the public that are at the same time the

people that connect to the internet that

shape to these spaces where they share

things but it’s a public and a space

without an idea a bit complicated the way

to explain it was by resorting to a book

of 1995 that is called being digital

nicholas negroponte that talks about the

differences between bits and atoms

the bits and the data

clear every time you create a beat that

persist persists is a 0-1 and once

that is created that persists is very easy

to replicate it once it is replicable

can easily be traced and then

is the property of the scj skill

we can and doubling infinitely and

then the immediacy this quickly

create an atom you need a lot of

time one bit is created immediately if

this we apply to the public of the

school of de Frankfurt we found that

there are

we found that there are these three

dynamics that I will explain to you with a

example

the first is confusion of the public

and private recently happened one

unfortunate fact in quito se una

person filmed his partner leaving

an inconvenient site and that is

spread virally by the

phones of almost everyone present

but a lot of people do not do this is

a confusion between what is public

and what is private

it occurred to me to write a

article about this because of course

spread other people’s content

without authorization

it is defamation and this is one thing that goes

against the veracity even if

true but you will find the grace

then I publish this on my facebook and

it was shared a lot of times it was

Awesome

after a little time people

that I had no idea they started me

write some in favor and others in

against what he had said hearings

invisible people that I did not know me

he responded and finally we have the

dynamics of collapsed contexts

throughout the investigation

the truth is that I had enough

neglected my facebook account and in my

twitter account put content that

I had realized they were linked

with the

facebook account then put things

and my grandmother told me that

Smart my little boy immediately my

cousins ​​were starting to tell me things you ‘re not

of the spoiled one always does not have a grandmother

so definite my grandmother made me

bullying on the internet very well I was

full

had my model could look for the

morality of the matter I introduced myself to the

university seen

I want to put the court so that I

do the examination of my license thesis

they made the draw and a teacher came out

that is the typical cuckoo was not a teacher

of dogmatics an Italian face

severe and that he had some

characteristics and my profession

question are you going to present the

budget to present

the day came I prepared I had 45

minutes I prepared my paper I started to

start talking seriously count this

first moment that something was wrong

because my teacher was a little

distracted looking for things doing

something that was understood me and

the Italian saw me with a smile

half mast

I kept coming back more and more

nervous advance until clear is

he finished the 45 minutes and told me term

that I had not finished I do not need a

little more did not finish his time has

finished now we have to talk to

us and told me

his thesis has nothing of theology

you have to start from scratch

you can not continue half the

soporcio but

I fell I was asked to leave the

room going outside and does not break is a

normal procedure teachers

discuss in the note that they are going to put you

between them but I ‘m out ten

minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes opens the

door came in and the two of you looked looked

that they had discussed a little bit

hotheaded they gave me the minimum grade

to continue my studies

this fact helped me change focus

of research and the four

following years I devoted myself to look in

theology that is what the

technology can tell us many things

many very interesting things for

example

Did you know that on the fourth edge?

Saint Augustine

speaks of an effect that is very similar to

that produces a young man who becomes

addicted to internet pornography

that affective and human isolation or san

Carlos Borromeo 15th century talking about

the need to focus on one thing

to do it well is a recognized

focus on just one thing to do it

and how the different tools if not

are used properly

they take you to have your head in several

things missing the opportunity to do

that work very well done or holy

Tomás 13th century that talks about the study

dating and curiosity study dating

that virtue that helps you to deepen in

things even if it’s expensive that you

leads to deepen to study one and

again until you get to the core of

affair

facing curiosity more than that efe

defect of jumping from thing to thing

how it happens many times

social networks here was the

secret of my study

technology does not make you good or bad

are you the one who is good or bad are you

the one who decides what it is that you have to

do

why is the response virtues

virtues and virtues

this is something that already aristóteles what

had defined a lot of time before

of Christ

the virtues that are now also

returning little by little to have boom not

with charles machine works

taylor

yes the writers virtues of all the

life prudence the necessary prudence

to know when you have to answer

a comment

the head that you have to have for

distinguish to see this I have to say

face to face or just a little message

many times when you ask for permission when

You ask for forgiveness, how fast it is to send a

sorry but that ineffective many times

it becomes when instead you approach and

you say in the face

today I ‘m sorry for that he says he has a lot

more efficiency technology can

humanize or dehumanize if we do not use it

well strength the fortress to know

cut because now I have to study

I can not keep the phone

strength to know how much is worth

it’s worthwhile to continue reviewing the line of

facebook and when it’s enough for today

video and cough temperance temperance

to know also decide me why

better because not enough are

content that they present to me but that the

content that makes me better and the

justice above all justice when

it is appropriate to put a suit of one

person a label when uploading a

photograph or when I had a

Photography

avoid being bullying avoid doing

negative comments the virtues are

the answer

we can all be good we can all

do things well if we are virtuous

but the virtues are operational acts

good operational acts

you have to do them again and again

things operative acts choose the best

acts and that is within everyone’s reach

that’s why every time you have to choose

with technology it is important to think

that you’re doing good that you’re

either you are doing wrong or you are not

independent each act and in addition

we have another thing and that is that modern

artificial intelligence systems

they make every action we take

within a website or in general

our internet browsing stay

registered and it presents that as something

positive for people who have

Similar profiles when you’re good

on the internet when you’re looking for content

height when you do things kindness the

things of delicacy and such

these things is like you put a vote

go up and conversely every time

you misbehave you go to junk content

it’s as if you can get a bottle of

plastic in the sea each one of us

when you use the devices your phone

your tablet is browsing the internet can

make an act of virtuous choice

that’s why it’s important that each of

we ask ourselves always before

of doing what is right and what is

wrong

thank you very much
