Lixo virtual: danos ao desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

It is the characterization of Virtual Trash (VT) as a category of analysis, starting from an analogy with the "common trash" and the systemic vision of a model based on the environmental, economic and sociocultural dimensions. In this scenario, there are actions that represent risks and losses to sustainable development, in the original and projected territories, including to personal relationships, which come to be experienced in a new paradigm. The central problem of research is the negative impact of VT on the sustainable development of territories. The objective was to verify the damage caused by the VT in the sustainable development in the territories. The research is classifed as exploratory, critical descriptive, bibliographic, documental. The ideas of Jean Baudrillard, Manuel Castells, Pierre Levy, Umberto Eco and Zygmunt Bauman were used as a basis for the bibliographic reference. The relevance of the theme is mainly due to the fact that the concepts of territory and territoriality, e-territory and cyberterritory, Fake News and LV are relevant to several areas of knowledge, and understand them more precisely, challenging the development of techniques and procedures in the various felds of study, or in professional performance, will contribute to make life in society safer. The results confrmed the initial hypothesis that VL is harmful to sustainable development in the territories. The conclusions pointed to a mistaken demonization of virtuality and technology, which were created, are used and controlled, or not, by human beings, and it is therefore their responsibility to overplay them and make use of them ethically. To this do so, it is necessary to invest in digital education and democratize Internet access.
