Definition

AnthroCyberism examines the parallel development of technology and human evolution, emphasizing computational advancements and their reflections in human evolutionary stages. It involves using technology in anthropological research and exploring human cognitive processes through technological interactions.

History

The concept and word were created in 2015 by Vincent C. Paladino, an anthropologist, technologist and educator. He introduced Anthrocyberism in 2016 as a contributing columnist in Anthropology News, a publication of the American Anthropological Association. Two of the articles, "A Sign of Change" and "Artificial Intelligence II: The Human Factor" have been archived on Google Scholar.

Key Concepts

Anthropomorphism in Technology

The field examines the role of anthropomorphic thinking in the design and interaction with technology, particularly AI and robotics.

Human-Computer Integration

AnthroCyberism explores the merging of human capabilities with computational devices, enhancing human abilities and creating new forms of interaction.

Archaeoacoustics and Epistemic Ephemera

A crucial aspect of AnthroCyberism is archaeoacoustics, which involves understanding how ancient civilizations used sound for social control and its intentional use as a result of adaptive cognitive processes. This includes examining the interplay of material and immaterial, where objects and ideas co-create each other, transmitting culture through ritual. The field also addresses the role of sound in ritual as a mediator for learning and mind transformation, emphasizing the importance of sound in shaping behavior, cognitive processes, and cultural transmission.

Ethical Considerations

The field addresses ethical issues in human-computer integration, such as privacy, autonomy, and societal impacts of pervasive technology.

Applications In Society

AnthroCyberism investigates technology's influence on social structures, cultural norms, and individual behavior.

In Personal Development

The discipline examines how technology aids in personal development, enhancing learning and cognitive abilities.

In Archaeoacoustics and Knowledge Production

AnthroCyberism's applications in archaeoacoustics involve studying ancient societies' use of sound for communication, ritualistic purposes, and as a tool for social construction and maintenance. It explores how sound and brain development interact, how auditory experiences prepare the brain for higher cognitive functions, and the role of sound in various learning models (behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism).
