Next Senses and the Pyramid of Technology

Every human being has to cope with technological change, yet few of us are aware of how new technologies are introduced, accepted and discarded in our society. The Pyramid of Technology visualizes how technology becomes nature in seven steps. It describes the seven levels at which technology may function in our life. At the bottom of the pyramid we find technologies that only exist as an idea or image (such as the time machine). At the top we find technologies that have become part of our human nature (such as clothing and cooking). Hendrik-Jan Grievink of Next Nature will take participants through a workshop using the Pyramid of Technology toolkit to investigate speculative senses and extensions of the senses.
