8 21st-Century Skills “The medium, or process, of our time -- electric technology -- is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and reevaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted. Everything is changing --you, your family, your education, your neighborhood, your job, your government, your relation to the others. And they are changing dramatically”. [Marshall McLuhan. Citado por Daniel Burnstein y David Kline (1995). Road Warriors. New York. Dutton, p.9]. Citlalic Peralta Octavio slas octavio.islas@itesm.mx octavio.islas@itesm.mx

9 El pensamiento de Marshall McLuhan destaca las dramáticas transformaciones sociales y culturales que desplazó consigo el tránsito de la era impresa a la era eléctrica (principalmente por el impacto de la televisión). La dialéctica de la innovación tecnológica es constante en la historia. McLuhan explica el cambio cultural a partir de la comunicación [modos de comunicación: edad oral, escrita –Galaxia Gutenberg-, edad eléctrica-]. Actualmente somos testigos de la decadencia de los medios analógicos convencionales de la Segunda Ola [Alvin Toffler]. Citlalic Peralta Octavio slas octavio.islas@itesm.mx octavio.islas@itesm.mx

10 Las tecnologías siempre reconfigurarán los ambientes culturales. –Ej. Rueda- Camino… Internet- Comercio Electrónico. Internet cambió el rol de las audiencias impulsando su participación en los procesos de comunicación. En este escenario, el público transita de la pasividad, propiciada por los medios convencionales de comunicación (Noam Chomsky) a la actividad. Internet es el medio de comunicación inteligente (Islas, Gutiérrez). Citlalic Peralta Octavio slas octavio.islas@itesm.mx octavio.islas@itesm.mx

11 Hacia una definición de Tecnología Las tecnologías involucran el desarrollo sistemático de técnicas mediante las cuales el hombre busca cambiar o manipular su entorno”. Es posible pensar a la tecnologías como extensiones del hombre (McLuhan). Las tecnologías exitosas deben cumplir tres condiciones: –La satisfacción de necesidades sociales –La ampliación de los recursos existentes (materiales, habilidades...) –La disposición social (aceptación) Citlalic Peralta Octavio slas octavio.islas@itesm.mx octavio.islas@itesm.mx

12 Entropía y Redundancia La entropía disminuye la integridad del proceso de comunicación como consecuencia de distorsiones en alguno de sus elementos. La redundancia, o repetición de elementos dentro de un mensaje que asegura la integridad del proceso comunicativo, es el mejor antídoto contra la entropía. Retroalimentación  Entropía y Redundancia Citlalic Peralta Octavio slas octavio.islas@itesm.mx octavio.islas@itesm.mx
