Undawntech: Discover the Future in the Past

Welcome to the halfway mark in the inaugural year of Undawntech. We are looking into the past to see the future of creative expression.

What have we learned so far?

Undawntech: Innovative Creativity introduced this column to the Writing to be Read audience.

Undawntech: Emergence of the Engineered Reaction discussed how humanity is being manipulative by new technologies like AI, or Artificial Intelligence, and how that impacts our sovereign beings and our legal standing.

Undawntech: Corporate Terms of Service and Theft of Intellectual Property showed how Terms of Service (ToS), policies and other forms of corporate contract law controls our intellectual, social, and political lives. More importantly, this article revealed how corporations are using their muscle to muscle into your livelihoods, by stealing your copyright for their use.

Undawntech: Technology That Is Stranger Than Fiction allowed readers to see beyond the veil. That science and corporations are developing technologies at such as quick rate that is leaving out the most important element: open discussion. Without the application of ethics, moral boundaries, and common sense, industries are seizing upon the public’s ignorance to push the threshold of the common good into a dystopian nightmare.

Undawntech: Weaponized Technology for the Growing Mind delved into the machinations contrived by others in positions of power to subvert the human intellect into mindless zombies. Knowledge, events, and other realities stripped from textbooks and replaced with alphabet agency level propaganda, it is no wonder our world is unhinged.

Undawntech: The Creative, Ethical, and Legal Considerations of Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Writing Field illuminated the issue of AI being used to steal intellectual property without the creator’s knowledge or permission in the publishing industry.

Many readers wondered why I disseminated this knowledge in a creative writing column. The issues raised, herein, are difficult to find anywhere else. Tech giants “curate” or control the knowledge base. They tell you what you should know, what you should feel, who to blame, and when to riot. This manipulation of our minds through technology are realities humanity faces, with or without our consent. Our knowledge, experience, and personal sovereignty are being upended to push a meritless and twisted demagoguery, which pits individuals against each other. In short, humanity is embroiled in Fifth Generational Warfare. Our biggest ally and adversary is technology.

What are creators to do? Should we become reactionary, so that we feel accepted and supported as a part of a destructive, activist mob? Or, do we do our due diligence and stand up to this oppression?

Undawntech has only skimmed the surface of these underlying issues that detract and subtract from our creativity, innovation, and ingenuity. Without giving readers a common referent in which discourse can be exchanged, then future dialogue is stunted. The future is in our past.

Are you ready for more Undawntech?
