Gist of the article
"The discussion of this short article is the concept of an "online society," emphasizing how human creativity and communication have created a man-made-world through scientific and technological advancements. This highlights the catalytic role of communication in existence, drawing parallels between natural processes and human innovation. The introduction of Wi-Fi technology is noted as a transformative development that has enabled global communication and allowed humans to transcend spatial limitations. "
Conscious creativity through transformation
Historical, technical and philosophical point of view of an “online society” seems something strange yet it is the reality of the actual world today. Un-like other so-called natural phenomena Human beings exclusively change, transform and evolve through conscious creativity of imitating, mimicking and copying natural mechanisms using invented (again copying natural processes) tools. This instrumental innovation occurred since the dawn of humanity, and it has fostered together with science and technology and all other forms of arts.
Man-made-world
Consequently, they have constructed their own artificial world the “man-made-world”. Then the continuous development has become the main and the unique engagement of human existence. This inexorable engagement of developing of his world became the catalyst and the catalyser of narrative character of the natural change and transform of the world and everything it contains including humans. Though this argument can be discussed for long I have to stick to my matter: “online society”.
Communication catalysis of existence
It is evident that humanity has made an immense progress in general in science, technology and in all other art forms. I have to underline the importance of communication, not only for human beings but for whole existence. That is to say, communication is the catalysis of existence and the universe itself.
For example, two particles of diatomic hydrogen bond with one particle diatomic oxygen through communication and relation to form a molecule of water. Thus, the catalytic character of communication is obvious. Furthermore, I have to add that communication is not limited to what human beings intend through verbal, gestural or other cultural forms of conveying data; even the simple presence of an object conveys relational information.
Conclusion – Transcending spatial limitations
Well, in 1997 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) have introduced the IEEE802.11, the original wi-fi standard that transferred data 1Mbp. In the same year Nokia 9000 communicator (Finland) adopted this costly technology first but could not do any further development. Then 1999 Apple company adopted this technology integrating it into the iBook laptop in an effort to bring this costly technology into common use. Only around 2006-2007 the commonly known smart phones with low cost wi-fi systems became popular and dominant phone. This wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) revolutionized enabling global communication without physical connection, effectively transforming human beings into beings capable of transcending spatial limitations.
Understanding of the concept of catalysis
The writer of this brief writing conveys his own philosophical notions of his method and world view. One of these concepts is catalysis. It is something that springs whenever any form of creative communication occurs in the universe - thus in the world - sustaining the phenomenon and bringing its existence to conclusion alongside the phenomenon itself. It is not something like ether; it arises with the thing, sustains it without transforming or altering it, and ceases to exist when the thing does (from the doctoral thesis in theoretical Philosophy of the writer 2008 Rome)
