The specific weight of technology and science in the coming society is the main ingredient of the third documentary. The television viewer will see Helen Fisher highlighting the capacity of human beings to advance at a faster pace than other species thanks to our use of technologies, which can even change the environment and the reality that surrounds us. The brilliant minds analyse how technology influences communications and the relations between people, and they debate two opposing positions in respect of the Internet and social networks: one against, focussing on individualism and the frigidity of those communications, and the other in favour, which defends the Internet and social networks as magnificent tools of information and communication that allow us, for example, to enter into dialogue with people all over the planet. Constant scientific advances change our relationship with the world very swiftly. So much so that Michio Kaku, a physicist and populariser from the United States, claims that a global theory explaining how the universe works, including aspects such as the emotions, is close to being achieved. Computers and the possibility of storing vast amounts of data, help us even in our decision-making. Darío Gil, Head of Development at IBM, reveals an infinite reality that we do not see: nanotechnology. The words of Kaku himself or those of Aubrey de Grey, a gerontologist at Cambridge University, regarding advances in the field of medicine which open a new perspective on the future -- prevention of illnesses, analysis of the causes of ageing, the role of technology in diagnosis even before the appearance of illness -- help us to understand how it is possible that in the coming years life expectancy will double.
