Nowadays, communication technologies keep evolving, reducing distances and making easy people to communicate with each other. However, still important challenges to have a fully communicated world.
Table of contents:
1.- Reducing economic gaps
2.- Developing sustainable telecommunication technologies.
3.- Encourage a more tolerant and understanding society.
1.- Bridging economic gaps
Now communication technologies are becoming much more accessible to most of the population, although there is still an important economic gap that delays the new information and communication technologies to underdeveloped countries.
This is easy to demonstrate with 5G Technology, since it is only available for developed countries.
This economic gap becomes a limitation in terms of communication technologies, delaying more and more the dream of achieving a fully communicated world.
2.- Developing sustainable telecommunication technologies
In addition to the economic gaps, an important solution that should be promoted is to apply increasingly sustainable telecommunication technologies.
Every time a new telecommunication technology is invented, it implies a higher energy cost, which means the need to produce more and more electricity, mainly from hydrocarbons.
This makes communication become one of the major pollutants of our planet, so it is very important to promote practices much more consciously with the planet Earth; because, although it may not seem so, the fact of using wireless communication networks is producing a serious impact on the planet.
An important challenge is to create increasingly sustainable technologies, which in addition to respecting the Earth in a better way, can also be much more accessible to most of the population.
3.- Encourage a more tolerant and understanding society.
We can install communication networks all over the planet, making visible the lives of millions of people in the world, so that they can be mutually observed, but this does not make us a fully communicated world.
The fact of producing information and having access to it everywhere only generates noise, to which we cannot pay enough attention to really create a communicative channel, being an important challenge to build a society with strong values at the height of technological and communicative evolution.
As much as telecommunications improve and allow connectivity all the time with everyone in any place at the same time, it becomes extremely important to create bonds between different societies based on tolerance and understanding.
All these values will prepare us for the moment when we will fulfill the dream of creating a fully communicated world, in which beyond having the technology that allows us to do so, we will be a society that is aware and prepared to respect and understand hundreds of ways of life different from our own.
