Philosophy of technology is by far the most interesting subject for study, since almost everyone understands that many technical devices have become an indispensable attribute of modern human life.Today it is difficult to imagine that at one time there were no cars, computers, the Internet and mobile phones.Thanks to technological innovation, as well as the constant introduction of modern technology in everyday life, our world has become more sociable and approachable.
In general, such disciplines as philosophy of technology has been studying the nature, characteristics and specifics of technical knowledge, as well as the history of the evolution of technology.It is important to note that the study is conducted not just as a statement of fact certain about achieving a particular level of technological development, and to achieve this binding influence on the lives of most of the human society.If we talk about the present time, many sectors of activity and, above all, information technology, came out on top in terms of impact on modern society.All the people know how to use modern computer technology, as well as global "spider's web" - the Internet.
is important to note that the philosophy of the art does not have a unified and well-structured system, because (apart from his own philosophy) it includes a historic, axiological and methodological aspects.After all, for studying the effect of technology literate person should also take into account the degree of perception of everything new and unknown.Practice also shows that initially serious innovation most people are negative, which is understandable human psychology.After all, the perception of something new brings a change of the status quo, as well as the impact on the ingrained habits.Therefore, the mind and prevents the introduction of new technology, in connection with what has celebrated a long period of adaptation and habituation to innovation.
Thus, there are major problems of philosophy of technology, one of which is a psychological difference in the level of people's perception of their new information.In addition, it should be noted that in general, such a philosophy is focused on two main objectives:
1. Understanding of technological invention, elucidation of its nature and essence.The need to resolve the issue arose not so much because of the crisis the art, but in connection with general issues of "technological civilization".Now it becomes clear that the environmental, cultural, anthropological and other crises are closely related to the active implementation of relevant equipment.
2. Finding ways to resolve the crisis in which the philosophy of art takes an active part, through scientific theses, research and industrial research.
Separately be said about such an important aspect of the technical achievements of civilization as artificial intelligence.Modern computer technology has allowed inventing this technique, the program which can almost completely replace the man in some fields of science and industry.This has provided in-depth study of the many issues related to the study of the universe, biological organisms, the human genome and so on.Latest Nanotechnology will allow to create such technical devices which have minimum dimensions, but has maximum efficiency.
Thus, the whole philosophy of engineering science allows to study the subject of human interference on the technique, and vice versa.Many scientists conducting research in the field of philosophical research, publishing on the subject of dozens of monographs and scientific and journalistic articles.What will be the future impact of technological innovations on the person to be seen.
