Information technology in anthropological context

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the philosophical comprehension of modern information technologies. The urgency of this work is related to the fact that the fundamental directions of development of design developments and scientific research nowdays determine precisely informatics and computer science. It is noted that due to the dynamic development of informatization and information technologies around the world there is a process of transition of humanity to the higher stage of its existence, namely information. First of all we are talking about changes related to the processes of cyborgism of corporeality (under the influence of bio-, nano-, and medical technologies); changes in the nature of communication, in the field of cognitive practices (associated with artificial intelligence). The modern person lives in the world of incredible temptations, possibilities of choice, information flows, increasingly becoming the object of continuously improving manipulation technologies. Therefore, the author pays special attention to the phenomenon of a cyberman. The author concludes that the diversity of forms and methods of communication, the loss of interest in the real world leads to axiological transformations, the alienation of man and leads to full immersion in a new world space.
