The last post, I wrote about many small thoughts in, what I consider, philosophy of technology, but a friend of mine told me about my ethical perspective. And her comment, I need to admit, was really significant.
In one hand, I am working in digital ontology but, with a mind compromised in human life questions (as ethical and political are). For that reason, when I read Gilbert Simondon, I admire his works because his transduction idea is a clever one. He describes every technical piece as a kind of expression and memory of a human effort, and every person in its inviduation process is created with its singular history.
So, is naïve to think about technology ignoring the human hand which create it. In this sense, a technical question could be an ethical problem too.
In the other hand, technical issues as compatibility or interfaces are more technical concerns. Related to an ontology of digital objects, we can focus in the processor evolution and it would be a valid research field. How can we explain the difference between a 1-0 language, a code program, an OS, an app, a chatbox, a message, a digital character? Phenomenologically, I think we can distinguish our experience of them but Can the machine (the computer) understand something different than electrical impulses?
