Engaging with analogue technologies and systems can foster a range of skills, competencies, and dispositions that are distinct from those associated with digital technologies. Here are some aspects that are often cultivated by analogue experiences:
It's important to note that many activities and skills are not strictly analogue or digital, and a balanced approach that integrates both types of experiences can contribute to a well-rounded skill set. The skills and dispositions developed through analogue experiences can complement those fostered by digital interactions, contributing to a holistic skill profile.
While digital natives, who have grown up in a world surrounded by digital technologies, have many advantages, there are some potential downsides or aspects they might miss out on:
It's essential to note that these potential drawbacks can vary among individuals, and many digital natives actively engage in a diverse range of experiences. Moreover, the integration of both digital and analogue experiences can help address some of these concerns, promoting a more balanced and comprehensive skill set. Encouraging activities that involve a mix of digital and analogue elements can contribute to a well-rounded development.
A combination of analogue and digital experiences can lead to a well-rounded set of skills, competencies, and dispositions. This blend allows individuals to benefit from the strengths of both realms, fostering a versatile and adaptable skill profile. Here are some skills and attributes that can be developed through a mix of analogue and digital experiences:
A balanced integration of analogue and digital experiences can provide individuals with a broad skill set, fostering adaptability and resilience in a rapidly changing technological landscape. This combination is particularly valuable in a world where both types of skills are increasingly interconnected and necessary for success in various fields.
Engaging primarily in digital experiences can cultivate a specific set of skills, competencies, and dispositions that are closely tied to the use of digital technologies. Here are some attributes commonly associated with a predominantly digital environment:
While these skills and competencies are valuable in a digitally-driven world, it's important to recognize that a well-rounded skill set often involves a mix of both digital and analogue experiences. Balancing digital proficiency with other skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, and interpersonal communication, contributes to a more comprehensive and adaptable skill profile.
Your point of view is fascinating. I am thinking about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on skills development in remote education, for instance. When reading a text in a foreign language, for example, it is too easy to copy and paste the text and ask AI to translate the text.
Additionally, do we have the same behavior -from a graphologist's point of view- when some of us barely handwrite?
To me, as a way to encourage FLEXIBILITY that´s a requirement to survive in today´s ongoing flux, one needs a BALANCE of ANALOG & DIGITAL competencies.

Education/learning has become digitally (that is electronically) addicted. Analog vs. digital (i.e. resemblance) may not be the same as practical applications, thinking, or doing, although you segregate analog with applications. Survival depends on sun, water, food, and shelter which have become divorced digitally. "The world does not survive on smart girls or guys, or those who spent the most time in school (or on gadgets). It survives and changes when people act, work, think, are responsible, and take risks," quoted from my book Relating To Ancient Learning--as it influences the 21st century (p. 386). That answers your question "What are the Consequences of Learning?" As Edward Eggleston (1837-1902) put it, "Many boys and girls who have good schools and good books never learn to think for themselves." Without independent thought, there are no inventions, no food eaten, water drunk, or clothes put on. See https://www.RelatingtoAncients.com/learning-quotes.
Gary Wietgrefe I think the issue for me is a balance, not all digital and of course not all analogue (paper and blackboard never get old). It´s the way forward to cultivate flexibility and versatility. Given the turbo flux of mid21st Century, the ability to switch from the demands of one situation to another is key to one´s survival in the epoch of Liquid Modernity.
