Abstract

The work analyzes the present-day global problems, which result from the rapid development of science and technology. We consider the liaising between the technological progress and human society at different stages of its development. The author analyzes such problems as the influence of mass communication on people, the unification of views, thoughtlessness, escape from thinking and others, caused by the scientific and technological progress, the implementation of technological ideas, the intensification of human manufacturing activity. We have found out the changes that a human being deals with due to the technology influence. The article shows the significance of philosophy for solving the existing problems and possible ways to resolve them.
