LIGHT AND SHADOWS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Information dissemination by means of language is of great importance in the progress of human knowledge. The earliest evidence of information transfer is symbolic stone inscriptions. An important achievement of mankind is the script, which was proved more than 5000 years ago in the Near East and Egypt. Scripture can be regarded as a code, which allows to transfer acquired knowledge to the next generations.
The development of information transfer has been steady in the past, although there have always been outstanding achievements. But the Internet age brought an acceleration of the information transfer to an unprecedented extent with itself. With the help of this technology, people are trying to change the world according to their needs, and in spite of the problem that therefore other living beings disappear from the Earth's surface.
However, man is an intelligent being and thus able to understand his actions and has the ability to assess the consequences of his actions. The fact that he is responsible for the other forms of life on our planet is also reflected in the fact that sustainability has gained weight in recent years. It is certain that the technological developments can not be stopped, so the question arises whether man is more ruthless to be against the environment and other forms of life in order not to leave the planet as a ruin to future generations.
