The world has lived in colonialism for centuries, great powers today have remained in the history of many other countries, managing to make - by force - a miscegenation in many places, enslaving in others, or both. There is enough evidence of this: the Caribbean, South America, are living examples.

Yes, I know that in the Project Hope community it is not to talk about history, and that is not precisely what I come here to do, but the introduction I have made is because I recently read something that caught my attention, and that is: Digital Colonialism.

It's probable that someone has read it before but for me it was totally new...

And it made me think about many things and I said to myself: How is it possible to be free but to be a slave? We are more and more dependent on technology, and it is worth noting that everything is digitalized. In general, technology has made our lives easier, I can't say no, but everything has its price.

Recently I was reading about the impact that the internet of things will have, which implies that facility to join our most basic devices and that will be able to process information as if something is running out of the fridge, make the request to the supermarket and be taken home, or that will detect the air conditioning when our car is on the way home and know that it must be turned on so that when we arrive the temperature is in an optimal point. This is great, yes, but it's probably hard for us to see, but digital is taking over our lives in such a way that everything we do will undoubtedly be totally under this feature, we are being totally colonized by technology, which is global.
