Third Self
The first digital revolution led man to be connected to machines and to observe a new way of his mechanical ability to interact with the outside world. Man doubled his ability, delegated some functions, but controlled the objects of his technological choices. It is in this context that Sherry Turkle, in 1984, theorized the Second Self.
Today we have quickly entered the era in which the unconscious improvement of a new sensory and perceptive dimension is challenging man in every instant of his daily life, while the technological transformation – of which he is often unaware – is in fact placing him in front of the prophecy of overcoming one’s own kind. The virtual and interconnected world we live in is already massively increasing the prospect of developing a new self. In this context, the ideas amplified, processed and filtered by the digital tools we use have a strong and lasting impact on our identity; and it is precisely the relationship between ideas and identity that is influencing our world on a value, perceptive and intellectual level. Thanks to our multidimensionality, in which physics intersects with biology giving life to a new experiential model, we experience the present as a mirror of the future; a future too distant for us to possess, but which our third selves are programmed to encode as a unique opportunity for human progress.
