Philosophy of technology as the most important aspect of the impact on human development

Philosophy of technology is by far the most interesting topic for study, since almost every person understands that many technical tools have become an inalienable life attribute of modern man. Today it is difficult to imagine that once there were no cars, computers, Internet and mobile phones. Thanks to technological innovations, as well as the constant introduction of modern technology into everyday life, our world has become more communicative and accessible.

In general, such discipline as the philosophy of technology is engaged in the study of nature, the characteristics and specifics of technical knowledge, as well as the history of evolutionary development of technical means. It is important to note that the study is conducted not simply as a statement of a certain fact about the achievement of a specific level of technological development, but with a linkage of the influence of this achievement on the life of most of human society. If to speak about today's time, many branches of development of activity and, first of all, information technologies, came out on the first place in terms of the level of influence on modern society. All modern people are able to use computer technology, as well as a worldwide "cobweb" - the Internet.

It is important to note that the philosophy of technology does not have a single and clearly structured system, since (in addition to its own philosophy) it includes historical, axiological and methodological aspects. After all, for a competent study of the influence of technology on a person, one should also take into account the degree of perception of everything new and unexplored. Practice shows that initially to serious innovations most people are negative, which can be explained by human psychology. After all, the perception of something new is in itself a change in the existing state of things, as well as the influence on entrenched habits. Therefore, the psyche and prevents the introduction of new technology and technology, in connection with which there is also a long adaptation period of adaptation to innovation.

Thus, there are basic problems of technology philosophy , one of which is the psychological difference in the level of people's perception of new information for them. In addition, it should be noted that in general, such a philosophy is focused on two main tasks:

1. Understanding the technical invention, understanding its nature and essence. The need to resolve this issue arose not so much in connection with the crisis of technology, but in connection with the general issues of "technogenic civilization." Now it becomes clear that the ecological, cultural, anthropological and other crises are closely related to the active implementation of the relevant equipment.

2. Search for ways to solve the crisis, where the philosophy of technology takes an active part, through scientific theses, research and industrial research.

Separately, we should also speak about such an important aspect of achieving technical civilization, like artificial intelligence. Modern computer technology has allowed to invent such a technique, whose programs can almost completely replace a person in some branches of science and industry. Thanks to this, in-depth study of many issues related to the study of the universe, biological organisms, the human genome and so on became available. The newest nanotechnologies made it possible to create such technical devices that have minimal dimensions, but they have the maximum possible usefulness.

Thus, on the whole, the philosophy of technical sciences makes it possible to study objectively the interaction of a person with technology, and vice versa. Many scientists carry out research in this area of philosophical research, publishing dozens of monographs and scientific articles on this subject. What will be the further impact of technical innovations on a person, will show the future.
