No really, everything is text.

When things get digitalized, they get transformed into text. The catch is that this text is not made for humans but for machines, these did not fall from the sky anyway, somebody built them, and somebody "wrote" them, meaning their behavior, what do they do with the text they receive.

Computer went from rooms to pocket gadgets in the blink of an eye, but technology overall still takes a lot of space, it is just hidden inside of industrial complex in the middle of nowhere, or underground, or underwater.

I would be interested in making crash tests in the form of talks/workshops/whatever aimed at trying to bridge the gap between people and computers (technology in general maybe). Computer literacy might be the term that refers to this, by the way, I know that people think that they don't need this at all, that pushing a button is all they need to get trough contemporary life, but I argue that since more and more aspects of life itself get platformed (meaning, they get "digitalized") learning general knowledge of how technology operates can help prevent black box magic and create the base for agency development of the individual (which hopefully then spreads it).
How to do all of this? Well, I think that I'll try to merge talking with Visual Thinking, with Abstraction, with Ways Of Seeing, with props, with people \__(•_•)__/.
Note 1: Abstraction leads to black box systems, so I will have to figure out a way to use it as an entry point (to then unwrap the usually-hidden process) rather then the end one.
Note 2: This is an attempt to create the possibility of choice, which comes from awareness. Currently, most people are in a default state, this passive condition actively influence our shared overall balance. Our current life is out of balance, in hopes for better times, these thoughts are meant to develop into practices of self and collective care.
