Abstract

This pandemic has been the starting signal to implement the paradigm shift necessary for social organization in the information age. As everything is very recent we are not yet able to see ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’. The triad ‘Science, Technology, Market’, which has been the driving force in the industrial era, seems, in these times of pandemic, to have ceded leadership to the Departments of Defense, Pharmaceuticals and Psychopolitics. Diferent levels of technologies reach society in diferent ways. Those that enhance the capabilities of the individual are provided by the market and regulated by politics. When the impact can be very strong, they are controlled by the Defense departments. Humanity’s level of awareness must be raised in order to be able to apply the technologies developed in the deep sea.
