Welcome to the Digital Humanism & Applied Humanities Project! We are helping People navigate the Digital Future with Humanities in Theory and Practice!

Humans are tool users. That means that technology should make our lives easier and free resources for other tasks. But not all technology also achieves this. The combination of rapid development and commercialisation has fostered an unhealthy addiction to technology to such an extent, that society has to actively intervene to teach people how to lessen the dependency on their digital helpers. Some of the tools produced are also using excessive amounts of valuable resources, that go against a sustainable future development.

These realities make it important to take a critical look at the underlying questions - and the hard answers. Philosophy of technology studies characteristics of technology and its relations to human societies. Central are questions of ethics, man-machine interaction, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and political aspects. These questions will remain with regular users of this project while trying to interconnect theories with real-life scientific advances and various technologies in their offline- and online lives.
