Cyber-anthropology: a new study on human and technological co-evolution

Area of Science:

• Cyber-anthropology as a new field of study.
• Human-computer interaction and simulated realities.
• Psychological culture in the digital age.

Background:

• Technological progress has created a computer-generated (CG) world.
• Digital beings are now integral to human surroundings.
• Simulated reality has the potential to transform humanity.

Purpose of the Study:

• Define cyber-anthropology and its scope.
• Analyze human reciprocal relations with CG environments.
• Examine the merger of natural and artificial worlds.
• Investigate human compatibility with digital life.

Main Methods:

• Theoretical construct of cyber-anthropology.
• Empirical study of psychophysiology and psychophysics.
• Analysis of semantics and semiotics in human-CG interaction.
• Examination of psychological culture and its core issues.

Main Results:

• Cyber-anthropology merges natural and artificial worlds via human imagination.
• Human engagement with CG reality is a Complex Interactive System.
• Psychological culture is crucial for exploring artificial worlds.
• Ethical and moral implications of technology integration are key concerns.

Conclusions:

• Psychological culture studies competence with modern technology and innovation acceptability.
• Dilemmas arise from human engagement in simulated environments and AI presence.
• The goal is to equip individuals with knowledge for technology adoption and well-being enhancement.
