Повторно поврзување на детскиот свет со светот на природата
RECONNECTING AGAIN CHILDREN`S WORLD WITH THE WORLD OF NATURE

Summary/Abstract: In most of human existence, children spent most of their childhood outside in nature, connecting with it and exploring fields, meadows and landscapes that were close to their homes. During the second half of the twentieth century, the children’s environment became too urbanized during a very short period of time. Children now spend nearly thirty hours a week in front of the TV or computer, listening to something through headphones or using mobile phones or media players. For years now we have approached technology from only one angle. We admired epochal inventions that suppressed human labor from the immediate process of production, calling it humanization of work. Much later, sometimes too late, we found that technological pragmatism threatens potential sources and the meaning of life in local communities and on a planetary scale. But technology is not the one to be blamed, but it is the way we use it and the goals we set concerning its usage. The technological invention gives power to the machine and the immediate operators are expected to put some sense into it. Therefore the paper presents the consequences of the damaging power and the “delayed mind” of the Earth. Not with the intention to eliminate the technology, but to match with sustainable development, not with intention to blame the machine, but with ambition to expand the reasonable life from struggle for survivor of the species in the environment and not with intention to return in the wild but to go towards achieving resident on the planet.
