== Topic: Audiences Telecontrolled and Telecommanded: Podcast and Special Contents ==


== Handbook of Research: "Audiovisual Innovation and the Cognitive Disintegration Resulting from Podcasts: A Social and Scientific-Technological Analysis Including Academic Education, Affective Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Human Corruption, and Machiavellian Narcissism"

== Collection: Informatics and Emerging Excellence in Education

== Handbook Aims:

While human beings continue to lose their intellectual capacities, ranging from concentration and reading to performing mental arithmetic, corruption gallops unchecked in the field of education and new technologies. These corrupt, Machiavellian, narcissistic, and psychopathic riders gallop along, waving the illusory banners of ethics, international law, gender equality, social progress, educational excellence, technological innovation, and so on. All of this serves to foster the decline of intellectual capacities, the fragmentation of human knowledge, and the increase of global authoritarianism through the digital and interactive audio-visual communication of podcasts, for instance.

Today, natural and acquired skills, amplified by the press, radio, cinema, television and multimedia off-line and online, belong to past generations –Baby boomers, X and Y–, especially reading and writing. The new global alienating and destructive objective is oral communication, through digital audio and, more specifically, podcasts. Generating abbreviated and confused educational content through podcasting has not only reduced teachers' workload in taking notes and preparing lessons, but has also exerted a powerful manipulative or brainwashing influence on students, both inside and outside the classroom, by transmitting subliminal messages, delusional ideas of power, delirious rambles, and so forth.

Many of these podcasts have fostered cruelty subconscious, urban violence, workplace inbreeding, corruption of human capital, Machiavellian narcissism, fake news, negative emotions (e.g., envy, jealousy, anger, racism, frustration, stress, etc.), and other ills of modern societies, as can be seen in millions of pieces of content on social media. As is well known, the power of radio and the verticality of the broadcaster in alienating the masses were widely and tragically demonstrated during the two World Wars of the 20th century.

Hence the importance of investigating the use of this tool, from content generation (inclusion of subliminal messages, reliable translations, promotion of social fragmentation, transparency of services provided, realistic statistics about the users / subscribers / audience / content creators, and so on) to the psychological profile of the managers of podcast-oriented platforms, whether or not they are applying artificial intelligence in these audio-visual platforms and services.

Contrary to what one might initially think, the basic objective of this editorial project is to enhance the positive aspects of technological and interactive communication in the face of the advancement of artificial intelligence. In short, to highlight the manipulative, persuasive, Machiavellian, narcissistic, and psychopathic strategies of a human capital that has been corruptly trained and that today is connected to new technologies and the services derived from them, since artificial intelligence should be at the service of humankind, but not vice versa.
