Apagón digital: Crowdstrike y otras poco conocidas compañías que influyen silenciosamente en nuestras vidas

The world is saturated with services and products from companies that exercise a “secret control” over our way of life. In 1951, French-born American industrial designer Raymond Loewy described a typical day for “the average man” from the time he got up to the time he went to bed. The conclusion was that the average man’s life was saturated with designed products.

By 2024, the average citizen may wake up to a smartphone alarm and enjoy hot water regulated by smart heating controls, also connected to a smartphone and the internet.

You may receive a package that you tracked online and your doorbell may also be connected to the internet. Online banking connects you to a whole host of financial services.

Our lives increasingly depend on being able to access what I have called the  “cyber-energy production plexus.” This “plexus” is basically an interwoven combination of elements that form a structure or system. In regulating our modern life, it needs to be “on” every second of the day.
