Yes, I'm being followed by a moonshadow / Moonshadow, moonshadow / Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow / Moonshadow, moonshadow / And if I ever lose my hands / Lose my plow, lose my land / Oh, if I ever lose my hands / Oh, if, I won't have to work no more / And if I ever lose my eyes / If my colours all run dry / Yes, if I ever lose my eyes / Oh, if, I won't have to cry no more / Yes, I'm being followed by a moonshadow / Moonshadow, moonshadow (Cat Stevens, Moonshadow)
Ever heard of the CIBA Forum[2]?
In 1962, CIBA Scientists anticipated Mankind to’ve undergone specific kinds of Genetic Engineering[3] on human Growth and Form[4] by the End of the Decade, proving capable of meeting Future Requirements to long-term Space Travel and Planetary Colonisation.
Among other anatomical issues, e.g. Astronauts should require much shorter legs and an Orang-Utang‘s arm’s length.
Wow!!!
Well, the contemporary Homo Digitus' physical, mental and sensory shape rather epitomises of a pretty mediocre state of condition, suggesting a bleak outlook for the Society of Digitised Human Beings.

(How) Does that somehow strike you?
Need more food for thought?
How about enquiring into the causes, effects and repercussions of digitisation on single and societal health?
A Life’s Abstract on Average: 73 years[73] life expectancy | 65 years of age[74] retirement | 24 hs Threadmill ∞ sleep ~ work ~ spare-time (leisure time).
Any objections?
Objection: Humans have created and imposed a societal and technological[75] environment on themselves and each other, pidgeonholing and subduing their Archaic Potentials[76] still prevailing their innate nature, e.g. spontaneity, curiosity, ardor of discovery, drive for creativity, determination, zest for action, aim for accomplishment, priced-in capacity for suffering, lift in morale, resilience, sense of achievement and desire for self-fulfillment.
Very superstitious / Writing's on the wall / Very superstitious / Ladder's 'bout to fall / 13-month-old baby / Broke the looking glass / Seven years of bad luck / The good things in your past / When you believe in things / That you don't understand / Then you suffer / Superstition ain't the way, yeah (Stevie Wonder, Superstition)
How about clarifiying that?
Clarification: Remaining in a permanent physical[77] (e.g. sitting[78]), mental[79] (e.g. just chillin’!) and sensory[80] (e.g. waiting, watching[81], listening) Arrest, leaving the accumulated Stock of Power unutilised, accounts for increased medico-economic[82] cost, as much as discreet superstitious[83] socio-behavioural[84] and socio-political[85] Conflict Potential by means of implicit Frustration calling for abrupt or fuzzy relief; driving Aggression, creepingly corrupting civilisation‘s noble motives and self-expectation; eventually yielding a ubiquitious self-destructive Phenomenological Paradox of indifference and single-mindedness, passivity[86] and bruteness, negligence and violence.
Any admonitions?
Monition: As opposed to Developing and Poor Countries[87], many Children and Young People in Developed Countries suffer from limitless boredom and a dull perception of their Existence’s and Subsistance’s meaninglessness.
Don’t they (at home/shopping center/leisure park/nursery school/school) merely reflect on their Parents’ screwed up state (at home/shopping center/leisure park/work) of Futile Being and Sisyphean Doing?
What does the Outlook on such a Life and Way of Living hold, but weight of expectations, pressures to perform and achieve in a Material World’s Trivial Spectre of Planned Obsolescence (production/consumption) coupled with a throw away-mindset (products/people), while climbing up the greasy pole, collecting ticket punches and privileges, coercively suggesting repeated breaks called Holidays from the Threadmill of Modern Life?!
In the year 2525, if man is still alive / If woman can survive, they may find / In the year 3535 / Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie / Everything you think, do and say / Is in the pill you took today / In the year 4545 / You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes / You won't find a thing to chew / Nobody's gonna look at you (Zager and Evans, In the Year 2525)
Something ... sorry ... lots of things must’ve gone terribly wrong! Despite experiencing The Scream[88], you mustn’t fear conducting a stroll through your Museum of Memories[89].
By the way, not only Marc Suckerjerk … sorry … Mark Zuckerberg sucks.
Don’t go digital, simply get better and enjoy your Real Life!

[70] When Computers Became Dangerous, The Swedish Computer Discourse of the 1960s (Vulnerable Society): During the 1960s, Swedish society underwent a rapid and revolutionary computerisation process. Having been viewed as a harmless tool in the service of the engineering sciences during the first part of the decade, the computer became, during the second part, a symbol of the large-scale technology society and its downsides. When the controversy reached its peak in 1970, it was the threats to privacy that above all came into focus. This debate resulted in the adoption of the world’s first data act in the early 1970s. This paper will study and analyse the Swedish computer discourse during the 1960s, with special focus on the establishment of the Data Act. The core issues are what factors of development and what main figures were instrumental to the changing approach to computer technology during the later part of the decade. ––– Computer unreliability and social vulnerability - ScienceDirect: Many have argued that industrial societies are becoming more technology-dependent and are thus more vulnerable to technology failures. Despite the pervasiveness of computer technology, little is known about computer failures, except perhaps that they are all too common. This article analyses the sources of computer unreliability and reviews the extent and cost of unreliable computers. Unlike previous writers, the authors argue that digital computers are inherently unreliable for two reasons: first, they are prone to total rather than partial failure; and second, their enormous complexity means that they can never be thoroughly tested before use. The authors then describe various institutional attempts to improve reliability and possible solutions proposed by computer scientists, but they conclude that as yet none is adequate. Accordingly, they recommend that computers should not be used in life-critical applications. ––– Human choice and computers : proceedings of the IFIP Conference on Human Choice and Computers, Vienna, April 1-5, 1974 (Book 1975) [WorldCat.org] ––– Human choice and computers, an ever more intimate relationship ––– ASSESSMENT OF SOCIAL VULNERABILITY (diva-portal.org): Climate change will cause long term effects on ecosystems and human systems. Different systems are however not equally susceptible to and have different possibilities of coping with these effects. A system’s vulnerability refers to the degree to which the system can cope with changes and whether it is susceptible to it or not (Parry 2007). Vulnerability therefore depends on the exposure to climate change (the character, magnitude or rate of change or effect), the sensitivity and the adaptive capacity of the system. Still, all components and people in the system will not be affected equally and will have different vulnerabilities. (..) A total of ten scientific articles were chosen as a basis for this summery, both from the natural hazards field and the field of climate change research. The articles were chosen to show a broad range of approaches to study and view social vulnerability, be suitable and useful for a Swedish setting and also to be relevant in relation to the goals of the project in which the study was made. One article (Füssel 2007) serves to give a general orientation in the field and a meta-analytical perspective, while the other texts provide examples of recent frameworks developed for assessing vulnerability (Cutter et al. 2003, Cutter et al. 2008, Wilhelmi and Hayden 2010, Holand et al. 2011, Reid et al. 2009), whereas some texts discuss the use of social indicators (King and MacGregor 2000), seek to contextualize social vulnerability (Kuhlicke et al. 2011) or review recent finding on certain climate related risks (Oudin Åström et al. 2011, Rocklöv et al. 2011). In addition to the scientific literature in the field, Swedish tools designed by the research programme CLIMATOOLS for the specific purpose of assessing vulnerability have been included. ––– Wilhelm Steinmuller, Legal problems of computer networks: A methodological survey - ScienceDirect ––– IFIP Congress (1977-1989) - Rationalisation and Modellification; Complementary Implications of Information Technologies · OA.mg
