The contemporary reality we live in
Nowadays, the automation of activities in the digital era, unrestricted access of information through the web, social media, and globalization, may cause the loss of individuality and creativity, standardization of behavior, and increasingly sedentary life.
A single daily issue of a newspaper carries more information than a person used to receive in his or her whole life, two or three hundred years ago.
Today, a seven-year old child receives more information than a seventy-year old adult did in his/her lifetime in past centuries. (Dr. Augusto Cury, Platano Project, 2015).
