| Tiivistelmä: | An attempt is made to give an overview of what is anticipated to be a major period of sociotechnical change that is entered now. The focus is on the impacts of the long-term trend of increasing closeness between the human being and technology. The aim is to lay out what may be the general features of a substantial transformation based on this increasing intimacy and to indicate the importance of stretching the imagination to contemplate the human future, which, for better or worse, is embedded in technology. The central issues are not fascinating new technologies, but new configurations of the human individual and society. The interaction between technology and its human and social milieu has never been so important as it is now. |
