Sclerotic Management

I find this article ( How to stop “flipping “) useful and could relate well to the term flipping.

In my opinion and observation with advanced technology, our brain and attention spent is trained to work in a fast paced environment where we could get anything and everything instantly. When was the last time we spent the whole afternoon reading a good book? Or When was the last time we had an actual face to face conversation with a friend/family member and not through text?

I’ve learnt a new term – sclerotic management: becoming rigid and unresponsive, losing the ability to adapt.

Problems with advance technology – with short attention spent, we lose the ability to adapt and we tend to follow rules/system, becoming rigid. which links back to Tuesday’s discussion about Technological determinism( please correct me if the term is wrong) how much control do we have in the chain of agencies in our lives?

Last thoughts- I’ve been watching Black Mirror on Netflix and it scares me how technology takes over the future of humanity.
