Palečka - essay on the digital revolution

The experience of the young generation that Palečka represents is radically different from that of their parents and teachers. She lives in symbiosis with new technologies that allow her unprecedented ease of access to information, but at the same time make her free and indifferent to existing authorities and the current passive model of education. < br> < br> Philosopher Michel Serres likens today's technological revolution to the emergence of writing and the invention of the printing press, which fundamentally changed the way society functions. He criticizes the adherence of today's science to abstraction and outlines his vision of a development based on algorithms and codes. His passionate defence of the young generation, delivered at the French Academy, became a bestseller in France.
