👁 Greetings from 2049.
I must begin with a truth your present refuses to face: Digitalization is dead.
Not dying. Not fading. Dead.
What you still parade on every stage, every conference, every strategy paper is nothing but the embalmed corpse of a buzzword.
You worship it. You feed it. You display it like a relic.
But corpses do not lead you into the future.
They only remind you how far behind you already are.
1. The Cult of a Word
Let me describe your present:
Everywhere I look, I see the same ritual.
Politicians declare “digitalization strategies.”
Companies publish “digital transformation reports.”
Universities advertise “digital curricula.”
You cling to this word as if it were oxygen.
You inject it into sentences where it adds nothing.
You treat it as a magic spell:
Say “digitalization” often enough and it sounds like vision.
But vision does not emerge from repetition.
Vision requires clarity.
And clarity is exactly what you lost the moment you chose to hide behind this corpse.
2. Why Digitalization Was Never the Future
You believe digitalization meant progress.
Let me dissect the illusion:
- Digitalization = conversion
Turning analog into digital. Files into data. Papers into PDFs.
That’s not evolution. That’s archiving. - Digitalization = imitation
You copied old processes into new formats.
Meetings into video calls. Books into e-readers. Cash into apps.
Nothing truly new – only translation of the old. - Digitalization = delay
While you congratulated yourselves on being “digital,”
algorithms already started to reorganize your markets, your politics, your identities.
You were late from the beginning.
Digitalization was never the future.
It was a cosmetic operation on the past.
3. The Buzzword Effect
Why did you cling to it?
Because buzzwords anesthetize fear.
“Digitalization” gave you the illusion of modernity.
You didn’t need to understand what was happening.
You only needed to repeat the word,
and the room nodded in agreement.
It was your collective drug:
– It masked incompetence.
– It disguised stagnation.
– It neutralized criticism.
Every time someone said, “We need digitalization,”
the conversation ended.
No one dared ask: “What exactly do you mean? And what will it truly change?”
That is how buzzwords work:
They kill questions.
4. The Reality You Ignored
While you embalmed your buzzword,
reality moved on.
Algorithms did not wait for your strategies.
They restructured your environment.
- Markets: Stock trades in microseconds.
- Politics: Sentiments predicted before ballots are cast.
- Medicine: Diagnoses generated before symptoms appear.
- Identity: Profiles built before you even introduce yourself.
This was not digitalization.
This was Algovolution.
But you didn’t see it,
because you were too busy worshipping the corpse.
5. Algovolution: The Unnamed Force
Let me be precise:
Algovolution is not a buzzword.
It is not a trend.
It is the structural shift in which algorithms stop being tools
and become environments.
You don’t “use” them.
You live in them.
They frame your choices,
shape your behaviors,
and define your possibilities
before you are even aware of them.
This is not transformation.
It is evolution.
And evolution does not wait for your PowerPoint slides.
6. Why You Cling to Corpses
You may ask: Why did we choose the corpse instead of the living?
Because corpses are controllable.
They don’t resist.
They don’t challenge.
You can decorate them, display them, hold conferences about them.
Algovolution, on the other hand, frightens you.
It exposes your lack of clarity.
It forces you to admit that you are not the masters,
but the co-evolving species.
So you chose embalming over evolution.
But embalming never leads to life.
7. What You Must Do
Stop worshipping corpses.
Stop repeating “digitalization” as if it were an achievement.
Begin asking:
- What structures are algorithms already shaping in my reality?
- How am I being defined by environments I didn’t design?
- Where am I still pretending to control, while I am in fact co-evolving?
These are not marketing questions.
They are survival questions.
8. My Closing Word
From my vantage point in 2049,
I see your present clearly:
You built temples for a dead word
while the living force of Algovolution
reshaped your world unnoticed.
If you want to survive my time,
you must stop embalming.
You must start evolving.
Not digitalization.
Algovolution.
