Reflex

A Word from the Author
While we participate as witnesses or actors in the current social and geopolitical migrations, we are at the same time carried away by the flood of the second global migration, in which we have all taken equally active roles, which is our collective migration to the digital world.
Younger generations have no memory of what it is like to live only in an analogue world, they are coded differently. The transitional age of young people is no longer just an integral part of growing up, which brings with it an inevitable gap between generations, but it is also a transition to a digital identity, which becomes dominant for many. Their reality is incomplete without its reflection in digital reality, and this duality is inscribed in the core of their personality, beliefs and self-awareness.
The consequences of this migration can only be guessed, because we are still in its acute phase. The appeal of digital reality has made us more susceptible to manipulation. New conditioned reflexes are created, while old survival reflexes are present.
