Homo Comfort The human costs of technological comfort
Over the last few decades the centuries-long technological development has acquired a momentous pace. Technology has given humanity the means to mitigate much of the hardships that plagued human life in the past, opening up the possibility to lead a life as comfortable as never before. Today such hyper-technological development has lead to the emergence of a new human species: homo comfort. Today, every aspect of our lives, from the cradle to the grave, has been radically affected by this hyper-technological escalation. What are the human costs of this all-encompassing technology? What its impact on our senses? Which embodied knowledge has been lost as a consequence? These are urgent questions that we to deal with today in order to address the looming environmental collapse.
