Technoculture, Speed and Slow movement.

Hello Reader...

This is my academic blog on thinking Activity of Techno culture and Speed and Slow movement. here I have mentioned some of the questions which might be connected with Slow Movement. which lead  with  the idea of the faster way everything which is going on so it has to be slow down it should be affected to the world. This task given by Dr. Dilip Barad head of English department.

What is technoculture?
What is Speed?
What is Slow Movement?

The late twentieth century has seen a rapid succession of technological innovation, from the silicon chip to the Internet and virtual reality. Times of the Technoculture explores the social and cultural meaning of new technologies tracing developments from the ' coming of the machine' with the Industrial Revolution and the development of mass production in the early twentieth century to the information revolution and the global network society. Technology is the word which is well engraved in our daily life. Whenever we go whatever we come across, there might be some functions that connects thorough technology. It has made our life tremendous fast and more efficient.

Risk theory for cultural studies reveals the extent that society culture thrives on risk, providing information about risk potential, possible solutions and so on. Risk theory is reflects on the psychological impact of techno-culture where cultural response to new devices are based upon an awareness that they create new risk. Most systems social, political and technological are now self referential : they generate risks and provide solutions ; they talk only within the system and rarely to the outside.

The new philosophical term which is based on the concept of slowing Down and it totally opposite to the

  "Insidious virus fast life, which disrupts or habits, provides the privacy of our homes and forces to eat fast foods".

First the Slow Movement started from the Italy. In the 80s and 90s. Therefore it expanded in to another countries like England and later on the world. It just not only works on the food but other field like travel and Urbanism, culture, fashion, tourism and even in the money and religion.

"Our defense should begin at the table with Slow food. Let us rediscover the flavors and savor of original cooking and banish the degrading effect of fast food.

Simulation and Simulacra is a 1981 philosophical treaties by Jean Baudrillard, in which the author seeks to examine the relationships between reality, symbols, and society, in particular the significations and symbolism of culture and media involved in constructing and understanding of shared existence.

Simulacra are copies that depict things that either had no original, or not longer have and original. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real - world process or systems over time.

A movement that started out with food and ended Up touching Millions.
It all began when in 1986, Carlo Petrini founded Slow food to counter fast food and fast life. The idea quickly grew into an international movement,  reflecting an overwhelming desire for a cultural shift towards slowing down life's pace. This sparked off the beginning of a broader Slow Movement, which has now evolved into Slow Travel, Slow Cities,  Slow Companies, Slow parenting.

Slow movement it is a culture revolution against the ration that faster is better always better. Something slow movement is better but somethings is bad because we are rewind back to work, slowness is a new way of thanking about time. The slow either has subsequently applied to a variety of activites and aspects of culture. People with dystonia have invaluable music contraction that cause slow and repetitive movements.

Going slow is about doing everything slow it is simply a gentle reminder to all us that:

We need to rushing through life so fast that we looses track of ourselves, our own values and what makes common sense. We need to reunite with inner voice that used to guide us - because without it was tend to make really shitty decisions both as individuals, parent, entrepreneurs and politicians.

We need to stop applying the same turbo - Speed to everything that we do.  Certain things are not cmeant to be rushed (such as a raising a child or cooking a nice meal)  so we need to back to doing things at the right speed and learn to slow down when life really matters.

Carl Honore,  author of the international best -selling book,  "In Praise of Slowness"  that has been translated into over 30 languages, has recognized the importance of Slow brilliantly :

" Today we are addicted to speed, to cramming more and more into every minute. Every moment of the feels like a race against the clock,  a dash to a finish line that we never seem to reach.  This roadrunner culture is taking a  toll on everything from our health,  diet and work  to our communities, relationship and diet and work  to our communities,  relationships and the environment."
