“…This is only the first of the differences comparing to the secondary education: in Academe we learn /teach the best methods of information and value managementor this could be one of the most stimulating definitions of philosophy (search for because love of wisdom) itselftogether with our studentsas suggested by the very word universitas. From this perspective, we also have to guide our students to be digitally wise and to attain digital wisdom in such an intimate way as to be able to use the technology and its Digital Tools as an essential part of being humanand so naturally, that the Digital Natives will not even be aware of it [12].…”

Anyone could observe the huge debate nowadays on the influences of the digital on the education. Example: Marc Prensky"s concepts ("digital natives»digital immigrants", "digital multiplier", "digital wisdom", etc.), were followed by sharp reactions (ex.: Timothy VanSlyke), confessing, different approaches of the identity of the being (Human Being) under education, finally. In the Academe, technology has to be studied as one of the essential modes of being human. We have to guide our students to be digitally wise and to attain digital wisdom. There is a real multiplication of the dimensions of the human being, when Singularity is more and more near. We deal with a whole set of different identities [plural (?), multiple (?), alternative (?), concurrent (?), divergent (?), virtualising (?)]. Yet we are more and more often discussing about the process of merging of humans with their machines. Because there are several different perspectives on the merging process, we have to manage a scale of merging, as we may have to manage a scale of wisdom and the problem of a specific form of the wisdom of the homo sapiens digital. In our society, we have just passed from individual having a dominant identity, crashing its recessive identities, his shadow(ed) identities, toward a constellation of concurrent and sometimes alternatives identities, engaged in a permanent negotiation, that could, may be the sign of the wisdom appropriate for our Digital Era. From human wisdom, we have passed toward digital human wisdom/human digital wisdom-a symbiotic, non-generic and un-unitary wisdom. The merging process analysis engages the search for the identity and a discussion on the identity/sameness relationship and leads us from 'no entity without identity' to 'no identity without a process', because in the Digital Era, our identities are negotiated.
