Hyper-technologisation can be seen as the process by which technology increasingly invades all aspects of everyday life.
It is an acceleration of dependence on modern technology in all areas, even human relationships.
Despite the progress it can bring, the drawbacks are what matter most to us here: loss of autonomy, reduced human interaction, problems of confidentiality, etc.
In this context, resilience refers to the ability of individuals to adapt and survive in the face of major upheavals, such as a global loss of all technologies.
This implies the ability to adjust quickly to transformed environments, developing alternative skills and tools to compensate for the absence of technology.
Technological dependency shows the extent to which individuals, companies or even entire societies are becoming excessively dependent on technology to carry out their daily tasks, communication, production and interaction.
This dependence can affect several areas of life, such as work, leisure, health, and the management of basic needs such as access to water and energy.
It is manifested by a loss of ability to function independently, without recourse to digital or technological tools.
If these technologies break down or are withdrawn, dependent people often find themselves disorientated or unable to carry out simple activities.
This situation raises questions about the fragility of modern society and the importance of developing alternatives or solutions to reduce this dependence.
This is an imaginary representation of a world or society in which life is extremely difficult and/or oppressive. It is the opposite of a Utopia, which describes an ideal society.
In dystopias, individual freedoms are often restricted, technology is misused or misdirected, and authoritarian control is omnipresent.
Dystopias generally serve to criticise contemporary social, political or technological trends by exaggerating their negative effects in a futuristic or alternative context.
Movies like Mad Max 1 and Mad Max 2 perfectly reflect this.
The term low-tech refers to simple, inexpensive and easily repairable technologies, often in contrast to advanced and complex (high-tech) technologies.
These technological solutions are designed to be sustainable, accessible and have a low environmental impact.
The concept of low-tech emphasises saving resources and resilience in the face of crises, while encouraging an autonomous approach.
Dans un contexte où la dépendance technologique est forte, les low-techs sont perçues comme des alternatives plus écologiques, adaptées à une société cherchant à réduire son empreinte écologique et à retrouver une forme de simplicité perdue.
