'''Concept'''
It is impossible not to interact with our environment in a parasitic, symbiotic or beneficial way, however, what is important is how we relate to this according to our needs, so we can not ignore the current construction of the digital, virtual and technological eco-system of the century XXI. This "eco-system" is vertiginous, light and inconsistent, so the concept of time is not the same and makes change the norm. The uncertainty produced by the now vivid "Liquid Modernity" widely described by Zygmunt Bauman in the book bearing the same name, has caused the almost unlimited acceleration of individualism, the siege, the transience, the finitude and the fragility of "almost everything".
This modernity receives the constant creation of digital content inspired by "reality" where the actor subject of the "eco-system" seeks to build itself with a flexible identity that allows it to adapt to different scenarios and people, but that is no longer related to the construction of an "I", but that is in function of the others. This generates a strong dependence on acceptance. The subject takes a selfie, edit it according to the construction of the Self = others (Perhaps whiter teeth, attenuate skin color, remove "imperfections, more bust, etc.) uploads the photo which is already a liquid element, superfluous and transient, awaits acceptance through a like, this is how the person has been subjected to a "temporary" assisted evolution through technology.
