What do we do with new technologies?

Internet is bringing a revolution in our way of “knowing”. Our libraries are not limited by physical walls any more, and our ways of processing and obtaining what they contain don’t need any more a physical interaction. However, this technological innovation has produced a curious paradox: although we know more, we seem to understand less. Does greater dependence on Wikipedia and Google make knowledge "more democratic"? Is the use of big data to predict cultural trends dangerous?

The arrival of the Internet has encouraged the debate of its effects and if our ethical thinking is up to the challenge that it represented. Which is the influence of accelerated technological changes in our way of knowing? And which is our responsibility concerning this knowledge? Michael P. Lynch and Antonio Ariño will talk about Internet i nosaltres, a book that is not “anti-technological”, but about the way we use technologies based on the analysis of the philosophical foundations of our digital way of life.
