The organisers of eLearning Korea 2017 have invited me to give a talk on the future of education and educational technology. The conference has a curious byline  “a happy encounter with new technology”, and it's to this byline I target the presentation.

I aim to acknowledge the unhappiness created by technology and propose humanism to ward off technocratic tyranny and to discover what technological happiness might be.


I hope my proposition is clear - that for there to be a happy encounter with technology, we need to re-orientate ourselves to humanist perspectives. Those perspectives can be found in history, philosophy, ethics, anthropology, theory, art, storytelling, questioning, criticism and debate. Sensitivity to humanism needs to be nurtured, the ember that might make a flame seems at risk of being extinguished.

It is with humility and hope that I offer this idea to the eLearning Korea 2017 Conference.

Please play this video as background imagery, without its audio, The Mother of All Demos. Douglas Engelbart Et al 1968



"The Mother of All Demos is a name given retrospectively to Douglas Engelbart's December 9, 1968, demonstration of experimental computer technologies that are now commonplace. The live demonstration featured the introduction of the computer mouse, video conferencing, teleconferencing, hypertext, word processing, hypermedia, object addressing and dynamic file linking, bootstrapping, and a collaborative real-time editor."
You’re watching a recording of a 1968 live demonstration of the first personal computer with mouse, video conferencing, word processing, hypertext, collaborative authoring, and more. It was Douglas Engelbart’s attempt at realising Vannevar Bush’s idea of a “Memex” - both clearly pervading our technological imaginations for more than half a century.

What to know, about me


I’ve spent a mere 15 of those years working in the intensely applied end of “educational technology”. That work has been almost exclusively within the all-too-familiar institutions of Australian and New Zealand tertiary education. I’ve played my part - espousing the revolutionary disruptions of hypertext, the Internet, socially networked media, open education and networked learning. I’ve worked tirelessly at baptising teachers in the digital waters of connectivity and showing them the heavenly ways of online learning. I’ve dismissed the ones who would not convert as old fashioned luddites long overdue for their retirement, or made a concerted effort toward their ‘digital literacy’ through managerially endorsed ‘professional development’. I want to apologise for all that.

If I’m honest, I’ve doubted the value of that work in almost all of those 15 years. I knew that the luddites had something to say but no way to say it. I’ve known that my job was merely instrumental, heaped with a stultifying power of technocratic urgency. I knew, as did others, that the work was mostly to create the market conditions for a massive transfer of wealth into new growth industry for the few to capitalise. The conflicted among us were allowed to chatter out our ideas with disclaimers, only to be mined for occasional innovation within that narrow spectrum of commercial viability.


At this moment, another wave of hype is swelling up before us, threatening to re-energize the futurism with yet more wondrous dreams of data driven, design thinking, algorithmically convenient, autonomous robotics and augmented reality. Yet more new growth industries for transferring wealth to capital.

Dehumanised


"At first we shape our tools, thereafter they shape us"

Attributed to McLuhan we've held this saying to be true enough for more than half a century, at the peak of our Modern era, awash in new technology, inspiring and governing our thoughts.

But tell me, how can we know if we're in that time when we are free to shape our tools? Or how can we know when we are in that time when we have lost our freedom to our tools? Might we always be "at first" and free? Or is that time forever past and we are merely struggling with the unending consequences of tool upon tool?

Did the machines of the industrial revolution create the technocratic mindset that gave us modernity and atrocious world wars? Or is this sort of technological determinism just another way of saying “progress”, based in some kind of dark Darwinian logic of techno-social evolution?

Technological determinism has haunted us for centuries. The Greek Titan Prometheus stole fire from the gods and suffered an eternity of pain and frustration because of it. But Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, married the all-giving Pandora, saw her release all evils but retain hope, and so he loved her all the more. [I am referring to Ivan Illich’s version of their story, found in chapter 7 Deschooling Society, The Birth of Epimethean Man.]

In 1829, toward the end of what we today call “The Industrial Revolution” and what we might say was the dawning of Modernism, the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle published his essay, The "Mechanical Age".

“It is the Age of Machinery, in every outward and inward sense of that word; the age which, with its whole undivided might, forwards, teaches and practises the great art of adapting means to ends… By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
Carlyle, like many since, was expressing the anxiety felt about the overwhelming technocratic mindset and its relentless push toward modernity and an apparent loss of humanity to its mechanised mindset.

In 2015 Alan Jacobs seemed to lose all hope in his essay, A technological history of modernity.
“..they could not think of World War II simply as a conflict between the Allies and the Axis. There were, rather, serious questions to be asked about the emerging character of the Western democratic societies. On some level each of these figures intuited or explicitly argued that if the Allies won the war simply because of their technological superiority — and then, precisely because of that success, allowed their societies to become purely technocratic, ruled by the military-industrial complex — their victory would become largely a hollow one.”
There you see what the “emerging character” of modernity is - a mechanised people who allow themselves to believe that their ends justify their means.

Transhumanised


Perhaps most disturbing of all is the transhumanism that Aldous Huxley described in his 1931 book, Brave New World. Alfred McClay pinpointed it most clearly in his 2008 essay, The burden of the humanities.

“Yet the lure of a pleasure-swaddled posthumanity may be the particular form of that temptation to which the Western liberal democracies of the 21st century are especially prone. Hence the thrust of Huxley’s work, to remind us that if we take such a step in our “quest to live as gods” we will be leaving much of our humanity behind.”
Are we at that point today? Are we attempting leave our dehumanised modernity behind, in a transhumanist ascension to a post humanity? Are we really willing to try that for no greater purpose than for the creation of new growth industries so that a few can gain wealth?

Adam Curtis thinks we are, articulating as much in his explorations of this postmodern confusion. His documentary, The Trap (2007) he uncovers a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures, and a false idea of freedom. And then, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (2011) further exposes the technocratic ideology in the creation of computers, and failing to liberate humanity but instead distorting what it means to be human.

And we can’t reference film without mentioning the greatest film maker of all, Werner Herzog, who recently took on the Internet and its accompanying transhumanism in his feature documentary, Lo and Behold (2016). “Have the monks stopped meditating… they all seem to be tweeting”. In an interview about his film, Herzog said that he was trying to find the human beings in the subject of his film.





And before Herzog was looking for humans, Charlie Brooker had made Black Mirror, a disturbing TV anthology stirring up our long held anxieties about dehumanised technocracy and its transhuman nightmares.



Rehumanised



So it can and has been said, we have things to be very unhappy about. We might have lost significant amounts of our humanity to modernism; so much so that we might be prepared to give it all away to the post human. I’m going to assume that there are at least some people who unhappily sense this, and who don’t want it to be that way any more. To them I suggest we rehumanise.


In his 1971 book Deschooling Society, Ivan Illich interpreted the stories of Prometheus, Epimetheus and Pandora in chapter 7 - Rebirth of Epimethean Man using them to reframe modernity and the calculating technology.
“To understand what this means we must rediscover the distinction between hope and expectation. Hope, in its strong sense, means trusting faith in the goodness of nature, while expectation, as I will use it here, means reliance on results which are planned and controlled by man. Hope centers desire on a person from whom we await a gift. Expectation looks forward to satisfaction from a predictable process which will produce what we have the right to claim. The Promethean ethos has now eclipsed hope.”


As the quotes from the works selected here point out, there have been people calling for a rehumanised ethos all through our modern era, and proposing ways to go about it. Perhaps rehumanising need only be a personal project. My own is ongoing, in a project I currently call, An Ethical Framework for Ubiquitous Learning. My personal goal is to continuously seek out and build in questioning, philosophy, ethics, anthropology, history, theory, art, storytelling, criticism and debate, and to use these discoveries to find kindred spirits, to help refine meaning and purpose, and expand human-ness in the relentlessly technocratic world we live and work in.


As Paul Goodman wrote in his 1969 essay, Can technology be humane?

“And yet there is a powerful surge of localism, populism, and community action, as if people were determined to be free even if it makes no sense. A mighty empire is stood off by a band of peasants, and neither can win—this is even more remarkable than if David beats Goliath; it means that neither principle is historically adequate. In my opinion, these dilemmas and impasses show that we are on the eve of a transformation of conscience.”

Definitely and unquestionably. Were it not for technology, I would not have met you and many of this list and it would have been much more difficult to get in contact with the wonderful material you provide us, explore further and learn more about the world :-)
Good luck in your presentation

Thanks for sharing this Leigh, haven't had time yet to pour through it word by word but visually it's a work of art, will make an impact, and should result ultimately in a happy encounter with a conference presenter

Good luck,

Vance

I have been feeling for some time that I'd like the opportunity to stand up somewhere in public and deliver an update on everything that I used to promote as an Internet pusher. (Mark Pesce's term.) And part of that imaginary talk would  re-evaluate where we are in relation to technology, and examine what it is we may have gained and what it is we may have lost.

I've been feeling, and without applying any academic rigour to the task, that there is a dehumanising of life going on that I want to resist. It feels too like the oft made boast/warning that we ain't seen nothin' yet, that the exponential speed of change would bring faster and more comprehensive change than we could ever imagine, is now happening.

Or perhaps it's just a natural consequence of one generation making way for another and worrying about what it is we've created.

Yes Bee, wonderful technology joined us together, but it now threatens to separate people. Why ring up or go and see someone to get something done when you can get an app to do it? So Leigh -when I read 'I aim to acknowledge the unhappiness created by technology' I sat up and took special notice.

I shall explore your paper and the ethical framework for ubiquitous learning.

- Michael.

I have a little story to add to this:
  1. I wanted to add Korean key words to the slides, so I used Google Translate (technocratic - dehuman). 
  2. I learnt a technique to help improve the accuracy:
    • Enter the English to Korean translation query, get the result, swap the result to check it translates back. If not, use a different word. (dehuman)
  3. I sent the slides to the organisers asking if they could check the translations, they did and sent back suggestions that confused me (transhuman)
  4. Confidence in the machine translation now busted, I walked the corridors at work asking around for Korean speakers. Found an intern and she was willing to help (rehuman).
  5. With her help, I was not only able to gain confidence in the translations, but with the topic I was going to offer, and how it would be received by Koreans (rehuman)
  6. She also gave me a leg up to improving the email communications with the organisers, helping to clarify meaning that was getting lost in the technology (rehuman)
The technocratic dehumanising aspects of the slides, graphics and translations was necessary to rehumanise the process and appreciate the result.

Hi Brent, thanks for the link. I was troubled by the article.. Appreciating the effort to reconnect humanism with technological development, some premises jumped out for me however, such as the idea that Enlightenment gave us the Individualism we base ourselves on.. I wondered about Common Law before that, in the context of the article, it seemed an obvious connection being missed (or ignored). 

And then I was annoyed by the dismissiveness toward theory, "...That’s all theoretical, so let’s skip to the practical..." my annoyance being that such self conscious dismissal is all-too-familiar to me in my workplace, tragic in many ways. It's something I want to describe as a "dehumanised" existence, stemming from a technocratic mindset that separates meaning from function (for various reasons), arguably allowing for the behavior of "ends justifying means", a behavior that I'm suggesting is a consequence of Modernism and Post Modernism alike... (dehumans and transhumans)

The tragedy (to me) is that there are (were) people out there who could do a much better job at considering humanity and technological developments. But their expertise was allowed to be sidelined and lost in our urgent rush to be technological.. now some of us are realising the need to "rehumanise" our perspectives, finding those who could've done it best are disappeared or usurped by people less capable. People like me for example - not capable in the least, nor am I connected to such people anywhere, by and large. Extinction?

As for the token technology and our social existence (cake and eating it :) I couldn't really understand its significance (too distracted by the above probably). I couldn't see how it was a clean example of post capitalism, or even a transition capitalism.. it seemed to me that common-sim in these technocratic terms is much more transhuman, in a tyrannical sense.

A great leadup to no doubt a wonderful and reflective presentation Leigh.

For me I thought of a few things you might like to consider.

Firstly the realm of automation - http://uberveillance.com/blog/automatism

Have we simply become a subject of the machine and hence lost our realm to even suppose we live technocratically? Where do you find yourself most of the day...travelling in it to sit at it to type for it?

Secondly, I don't think we have resolved this whole caper about the oversight of what we have created as an attribute to what others think of us as machine dwellers - https://www.alexanderhayes.com/publications/2013/12/19/identity-awareness-of-research-data-in-veillance-and-social-computing

Lastly, who would have thought that in the weird and wonderful world of wearable technology (as we edifice our biology and hold forward our cyborg selves) that such ethical and moral standards would jump forward for consideration - https://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=wearable+technology

I know you will excel. It sounds like a spreadsheet but its actually a humane way of saying good luck and best wishes.

ps. thanks for the apology.

Alexander Hayes

PSS .

Leigh, your translation story hit the nail on the head and grounded everything from where I sit. And your last post deeply resonates. (I write this as my foolish country ignores history yet again which resonates with the submissiveness towards theory. It took me a long time to understand that theory and practice were the two legs we walk on. HT Etienne Wenger)

Look at what is happening in AI. The story repeats and repeats.

Thanks Nancy and Alex.

Alex, would I be right enough in placing your work in the section called Transhumanised?

In that section I've cited Alfred McClay Adam Curtis, Werner Herzog and Black Mirror writers. 

I might have boiled this for too long but the basic narrative I'm aiming for is:

1... Industrialism > modernism > technocracy = dehumanised. 
2. The horror of peak technocracy > forked post modernism (early rehumanism) > their ideas easily reabsorbed by technocracy through capitalism = transhumanism.
3. The horror of neo technocracy (transhumanism) is being revealed > hope for a total shift in ideological foundation, away from modernism > rehumanism take 2.

Sorry to be so long winded, but it's me thinking out loud through you.. feel free to skim or skip. But any responses valued.

...Industrialism generated mechanised thinking that became the general ideological foundation of Modernism. This had increasingly dehumanising consequences as it lead to extreme technocracy (fascism). Fascism was not defeated (if it can be said we were even truly fighting it), and technocracy became the world standard for bureaucracy and reason (fascism lite). We became dehumanised by its sheer dominance through Globalism.

Over the last 45 years, post modern ideas were easily absorbed by this total technocracy, especially through its economic enginerooms of capitalism and economic rationalism. Transhumanism is mutated post modernis. Innovations for technicratic capitalists in search of industrial growth through "new" markets. We are now in a Transhuman period.

Rehumanism (largely consisting of the post modern ideas that have not been absorbed by technocracy) seems futile even suicidal. but it is all that can be done by those of us who simply can't live, or bare the thought of, this inhumane existence. The search is on, and has been all along, for a more humane existence with our technology. 

What is the ideological foundation/s that keep runaway technocracy in check? I like Illich's duopoly of Hope and Expectation.

Alex, you're already doing it, Michael desires it (has done all his life actually, to have kept playing a guitar left handed all this time). Nancy has searched for the meaning of Community, offering translations to and from the technologies that might attach to it. Bee highlights it with her observation of TALO. But we will not see it in our lifetimes.

totally, and over the course of time, generalisable.. unless we discover a new way to think history. This book looks interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_of_Your_Life

The movie Arrival was based on it, but they ruined a good story be heaping nationalistic propaganda into the movie.

Great, Leigh. Thank you for sharing.
In a similar movement towards humanism here's the Copenhagen Letter

To debate and draft The Copenhagen Letter, 150 practitioners came together for 48 hours during Techfestival in 2017. They include technologists, designers, philosophers, educators, and artists. This letter mirrors their commitment, starting a conversation on the values and principles that guide technology.

You are invited to sign or answer The Copenhagen Letter, and to share its content.
