When humans do it better! | Monique Calisti | TEDxModenaSalon


[Music]
good evening I would like to start with one
demand
a question to you how many times
think of looking at your cell phone
during my presentation tonight who
think at least a couple of times reading
some statistics are recently
I was quite amazed by the numbers
on average the new generations spend
a day enough time on them
cell phones and watch them on average
cell phone more or less than 50 times according to
Who do you think most nearly all those who
think more than 100 times we are there
young people do it at least 150 times a year
day and we adults instead much better
only 80 times a day but what
even more incredible is the amount of
time we spend with cell phones
so it is not just the gesture of
check it we spend on average from
2 to 4 hours a day on ours
many phones of us do it for
Working mom call it the children
etc
now I am among the children almost in puberty g
so I’m not going to tell you the
control of time on devices but
what I want to do you
I have to reflect right now is if
we are above all aware of this
our relationship with technology with
machines in particular with the
digital technology that the industry in
what work
actually as I told you I am
forgot the slides obviously the
key question is precisely what kind of
relationship we have humanity and the
technology are two inseparable forces
that have marked the course of history
and certainly true that technology
especially the digital one a day
today just entered so much the
our way of life that has influenced
both as we speak we know how we work
both how we interact socially and has
even influenced the way in which
we interact as a group therefore also
influenced the so-called intelligence
collective there are researchers who are
who are working on a new one
Internet generation
of humans an internet that is capable
to respect the values ​​of the human being
be able to offer privacy
safety and a longer flow environment to
man there are also many researchers
private social organizations that
they are working to put the
digital technologies at the service of
citizen
so this movement of the digital
social innovation is trying to create
a movement that precisely put the
technology available to man
but there are also other facts a little more
folk
if we think about digital transformation
the machines are becoming more and more
human this is a fact
but what maybe a little more
puzzling is the fact that even the
Human become increasingly robotic there
I’m in the cyborg room, there’s someone who
has some digital installation maybe maybe
there is someone the population of people
that let themselves be implanted
digital devices in the body or under
leather or otherwise in other parts of the
body is increasing and not just for
medical reasons then to check a
device that releases a medicine o
to control artificial limbs
there are so many who allow themselves to be implanted
microchips can open doors
windows check the light or the
room temperature at this point
I wonder if we are more
enthusiastic or more worried
about the digital transformation
I do not know to tell the truth are a bit
of both
but the fundamental question in my opinion
and if we are ready for this kind of
changes because these changes
they will continue this is a process that
we can not stop or not
we can stay or simply because
man is curious man always wants
face its limits and overcome them
so what is left to do and
prepare us how we can prepare
what we have to do this is a question
which is difficult to give
obviously answers in my little one
because of my work a little bit on the way
of my professional training me
I have found in many cases to discuss
to listen to and deal with this topic
here’s the big problem, too
technology is advancing like this
fast that there is no system
legislative there is no system
politic
I say or educational that manages to hold the
technology step therefore anyway
there will always be some difference between
how fast we can follow it
todt technology and how fast i
educational systems can help us
so anyway, it looks a lot
important is to solve a
problem that is that of the
of digital ignorance becomes a big one
speak both at European level and at
national level of how anyway
will succeed in educating me here I see many
students make me very happy as you
succeed in our school today ad
digitally educate the boys but this
digital education should begin
at home
it’s a scandal to give a cell phone a
device to a child to a boy
just because he knows how to use the device to give
Internet access has consequences
very important from a point of view
psychological behavioral is as if
we give a boy a scooter because
he knows how to drive in the parking lot of the house from
a kid we claim you are studying
traffic rules road signs
that shows us that he knows how to drive in the
traffic before giving the scooter those
no phones we do not worry about
what can happen on the net
so it is important that consciously there
we realize that it is not the fault of the
we are responsible for technology
technology is neither good nor bad
and the use we make that makes the
difference is the fact that we can
use and access a variety of
gadgets I would say from the phones to which glasses
in virtual reality does not mean that
we are digitally educated in education
digital comes from an awareness of
what are the risks and the
opportunities that technology offers us
so obviously we have to work
on the aspect of education but we must
go beyond this I working
with many computer engineers
telecommunications work with a person
I have this great luck working
compression that are on average
definitely above average in
terms of digital skills here though if
I had to talk about their human skills
of low communication or communication skills
interaction is then trembles for another one
another chapter that does not have however then
it is not necessarily true that who is more
technological and more digitally educated is
more ready for this digital revolution
I believe that someone much more
important of me already had understood that in
reality the one who will adapt better
the one who will be able to adapt better
it will be he who resists race whoever
It will go on
and here, according to me, our is unleashed
beauty here we must feel proud
because we humans are probably the
unique that we can reschedule
we are every day every day
compare with the change with
the unexpected at home school at work e
every day we can invent ourselves
a new solution so we are the
beings that more completely in
most wonderful way they manage to
become day by day without
we need to shut down and restart
other
so what we must do must
be very conscious and this
we have also heard it before the
value that has our intelligence
our intelligence not just that
purely rational ours
emotional and social intelligence
our sense of humor ours
I empathize the ability to feel even though
who has returned and does not speak what he is
happening and these are qualities that
we must learn to cultivate and agis e
to teach why these too
they can therefore teach all of it
category of so-called soft skills not
it’s soft for nothing is fundamental in the
ability to move forward in capacity
to manage consciously
our digital challenge then mine
idea is to be able to do a little you have
saw the movie matrix uil today is here
in my idea it is to do one
mankind
then update the version
of humanity to a new one in which
we succeed while obviously we work
on our digital skis we can do
treasure of those that are ours the
our human factor how to do it is not
simple each of us must find the
so that suits him best
I usually when I have to undertake
something particularly challenging
I try to abstract myself for a moment
so now I would like to ask for one
second to close my eyes close
me too
We close our eyes and I relax
because there is always a very tense behind
and then I do something trivial
breath
three times a day we forget about
breathe and why I tell you this then
now the gold opened his eyes not
I would like you to believe that I am a bit
guru and I want to make some
meditation exercises even if I’m there
trying for two years with results
terrifying but close your eyes
isolating for a second means
take the time to think not
we take enough time to think
we are so 4 hours on the phone
two hours on the computer
six hours in the office when we think
here is the awareness and the capacity
therefore to engage consciously in
everything we do and then also
in our relationship with technology
can make the breakthrough
I came here tonight
simply with with the idea of
share with you what I have
learned along the way and what I did
so I found my thought
I found my algorithm I do not have
a universal solution and I do not believe it
to universal solutions what
I think that’s very important
which then allows us to improve and is
what I look for anyway
teach my three daughters but also
to convey to the people with whom
work
one of the first things is and capacity
to be critical
we must have the courage to ask
when we do not understand
we must question what
we do not understand and if we do not understand the
technology we must not passively
take it another thing that is part of a
some of my work is listening if not
we can not listen to others
we will never communicate with them either
at least never actually
effective we must be creative and
open to novelty because this way
our work our life will be
much more fun
we must embrace in English dc
embrace changes and a little physical
from the idea that something happens
different and we hug him sometimes we have
fear
the change scares, however, is part of it
of life therefore, however, we must
also embrace change
another thing that is also becoming
very fashionable a word of a half
dirty word is this thing that yes
organize these nights so fax up
people who have entrepreneurs who have
experienced a failure and that yes
meet meet to do what
to talk about their experience
negative but still an experience from
which they manage to learn they manage to
share a series of situations that
can help you do differently in the
future and finally try to reflect the
your your human being in everything
what you do not be ashamed of
be human to be funny to have
a joke at the moment because this does
of you the different person is beautiful and
special that others will learn to
appreciate this of course the machines
finally a very very pragmatic thing
concrete I ‘m the engineer I’m mom of
three or a company then all the
solutions must be concrete and
last year in January when I have
the moment of the good began the year
intentions
I decided that at least ten days
I would have made the digital diet a year
this digital of tox and that is I would have
left all the devices at home and
I would have the right to be
disconnected made the budget when
wrong christmas
disaster I had four five times e
I managed to do it twice
probably because I had forgotten
phone home so obviously there is
a margin for improvement and I’m
trying to work a little better for
conclude I would like to thank you and I would like to
tell you that what I shared with
you are absolutely not this evening
something transcendental and not even
particularly profound but in my opinion
the ability to critically and
consciously manage ours
relationship with technology and in
particular with digital technologies is
a duty if we do that we will succeed
live better and have better fun
thank you
