We’ve spent decades making humans more efficient for machines. It’s time to flip the script.

For most of history, technology has been impersonal. We built steam engines to move weight and computers to crunch numbers, and we expected people to adapt to the "way the machine worked." But we’ve hit a turning point. In an era of pervasive AI and hyper-connectivity, technology is no longer just a tool - it’s a relationship.

In The Humanisation of Technology, I explore the shift from Society 4.0 to Society 5.0. This isn't just about faster processors; it’s about architecting a world where digital systems are finally "human-aware."

In this article, we look at:

The Three Pillars of Interaction: Breaking down the new dynamics of Human-to-Machine (H2M), Machine-to-Machine (M2M), and Machine-to-Human (M2H) relationships.
Cognitive Augmentation: Moving past the fear of "replacement" to see how technology can actually amplify our unique human potential.
Designing for Dignity: Why the next era of innovation must be governed by ethics and human purpose, rather than just raw engineering capability.

The goal isn't just to build smarter machines, but to build a more resilient, human-centric society. Let’s look at how we get there.
