Parasites of Technology:The Technological Paradox of Digital Survival——Discussing with Chen Jiyin and Sun Yueqin
Digital technology has infiltrated the entire social system and reconstructed various levels of fields,and digital survival has become the main practice mode of humanity.Chen Jiyin and Sun Yueqin pointed out that digital technology brings about a deep integration of reality and virtuality.Digital technology achieves data monitoring of humans through"data feeding",providing theoretical reference for us to understand human digital survival and its impact on human behavior and production methods.However,it should be pointed out that digital power has transcended the dimensions of"digital production"and"digital consumption".Through comprehensive takeover and intervention in human society,it has nurtured digital super subjects,and the"personification"characteristics of digital technology continue to manifest.Virtual reality technology has amplified perceptual experience,and"digital hyper reality"has surpassed real reality,incubating a real virtual self experience.As the human mind and body are constantly separated,"hidden personalities"will frequently emerge and continue to split the subject consciousness."Personality imbalance"may become a potential risk to digital survival.In the end,digital technology will shift from being a foreign"parasite"attached to humans to a"devouring substance"that envelops them,and humans will become a"parasite"that relies on technology for survival.
