A Paradigm Shift

In A Paradigm Shift, we see that when humans master the ability to perform a task, the knowledge and skill surrounding that task are offloaded to technology. Technology does not perform the task in the same way that humans do; technology digitizes the performance of the task by reorganizing the data and redefining the process. Then, when humans interact with the digitized task, it brings about a restructuring of how humans think about the task. The proliferation of increasingly complex human tasks being digitized in multiple areas of life indicates an evolving restructure of collective human thought. As technology digitizes more complex tasks in more areas of life, the restructuring of collective human thought places Homo Sapiens on a path to a new version of humanity. This thought-provoking book is peppered with intriguing scientific narratives about this timely topic and is guaranteed to make an indelible impression on the reader by offering fresh insights into the marriage of technology and psychology.

Author Carolle M. Dalley wrote this expertly crafted book for educated laypeople interested in the trend found in multiple industries, where previously, it was common for people to learn about technology, but now algorithms are learning about people. Those who will especially appreciate this book are project managers, social psychologists, and business managers. Carolle is uniquely qualified to write this book because she is a retired IT project manager who pursues an interest in the relationship between technology and psychology. With keen insight, she explains how people and algorithms are changing each other in areas of technology, psychology, demography, business operations, project management, genetic engineering, biocentrism, and reputation management. What differentiates her book from similar books that are available on the market, is the way she demonstrates that technology and psychology are twin threads that jointly influence each discipline that contributes to the paradigm shift in collective human thought.
