THE 9TH GENERATION OF MODERN AGE CREATIVITY AND WALKING. PART I OF IX.

🔊 Listen to Post

This post is the first of 9 that respond to a practical structure and that have the purpose of presenting a new functional paradigm, which humanity requires for FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN ITS WALK.

This effort will allow the orientation of the investigations carried out in the near future so that they are directed towards a specific solution to the problem of the future walk of humanity.

I am certain that there will be many thinkers and researchers worldwide, men and women, from their specialties, who could collaborate to shape (define) a new paradigm that the human being urgently requires to move willingly, comfortably and safely in their walk, transforming those physical elements and legal, nomothetic and nomological, natural, regulatory, non-regulated instruments, etc., that may give the current provisions a better perspective on the essential aspects and forms of walking and in the different functional and productive spheres, such as habitability, recreation, work, housing, urban planning, etc., which are related to this natural activity, which condition the human being forcing him to move in a different way from his normal gait, and modifying his nature of transporting by himself and that he has also disrupted his traditional and customary environments of his daily life, which he has treated to maintain forever, but that growth and industrial and technological development has been winning the battle.

The Industrial Revolution, whose beginning has been historically determined in the decade of 1770, has its roots in the incipient capitalist system that had already begun 100 years before, since it already existed in some regions of Europe, that inclination or entrepreneurial spirit long before this historical moment, which is identified with the invention of the steam engine. It can also be seen that its fertile fullness occurs towards the 50’s of the following century (1850). The appearance of the Industrial Revolution is a concomitant effect of the crisis that arose in Europe during that precarious and embryonic capitalism.

I consider that, at the beginning of this new process of development, it has been essentially affecting the human being – in his pristine (archaic, original) nature – with regard to his natural habits of walking to transport himself to places, near or far, in order to satisfy his needs in general. At this historical moment, parallel to the industrial development, an opening in their creativity, a first human generation began to see this mental function from other aspects, more formal and with other perspectives of personal and collective development.

Some experts consider that innovation, the result of human creativity, was not an essential cause for this period of industrial boom. However, personally, I believe that a new modern way of approaching and impacting human development was generated, in all aspects, as a process -also revolutionary- that began at that time with the first generation that proceeded with a nascent mentality of what creativity meant for the production models that began to take shape. A novel process of thinking, creating and producing that has been enriching this mental function up to the present day, when it has evolved to the 9th generation of creativity, which must have -I repeat- a revolutionary approach in itself. Perhaps it is the greatest challenge that it itself can imply, that it be a Revolutionary Creativity.

Both revolutionary events, that of creativity and that of industry, made it possible to replace the use of animal and human power with a new energy generated by steam – at its inception. The productive and transportation systems became more efficient and with much lower costs, which impacted all economic sectors that have been improving steadily since that innovative era.

Since that period, human beings have been gradually substituting their strength and physical work potential with the extraordinary help of substitute machines.

In the transport sector, he has amazingly transformed his own nature of transporting himself, that natural capacity to do it on his own feet.

We are now in the 9th generation of creativity of the modern era (*), a process that began – as we have already mentioned – in the Industrial Revolution. It is therefore necessary to reactivate that transforming form in human creativity to induce a new paradigm that places us, from this moment on, in the future, and that we should not reach it, without a clear idea of what we will have to define in that new scenario, which will give comfort and security to the expectant walker (Future Post A NEW WALKING PARADIGM).

Let us try in this period of creativity to place Humanity with a new thought of what it will represent to renew and rejuvenate its walk, moving with its own feet. In all this process let us become aware of the need to generate a combination of multidisciplinary contributions (Future Post THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND THE INTERDISCIPLINARY FLOW OF IDEAS) that clearly define the investigations that will be channeled towards a hybridization, also disciplinary, (Future Post WALKING: A NECESSARY DISCIPLINARY HYBRIDIZATION) containing healthy objectives and quantified goals, which will positively impact on a new paradigm of human walking and its specific solutions to the future problem of moving on one’s own feet.

Let’s walk on a new perspective so that we can all think better and be healthier.

(*) For purposes of analysis in this and other works, I allowed myself to consider 30 years as the average time between generations on creativity, in the modern era. The 9th generation started in 2010 and will end, according to my estimations, in the year 2040. The generations of creativity advance according to the development of the sciences (exact, physical, social, natural, etc.) that human beings have been perfecting, as well as the creative advances in the arts; and of course in technological activity, in all its fields. The generational periodicity of creativity was comparable in time to the generative biological evolution of the human being.
