Problem of the transformation of science and technology in the XXI century thematised actively in scientific discussions and publications , the vast print and electronic media , it is of great interest among researchers from various science. Traditionally, the concept of science give the following definition : " This is a level of knowledge that emerged in the process of development of rational thinking as a specialized spiritual social production , aimed at obtaining objective truth ." Terminological design concept of " technology " refers to the difference between it and art. Technique is a system of artificial organs productive forces , each of which is a result of objectification of labor functions , knowledge and practices of the people . Under the technology , in turn, implies a way to connect the human and material technology in the spiritual and material production , which is a complete system of specialized operations . Otherwise , great interpretation technology gives Rozin VM , developing a dual approach to understanding technology : narrow and wide. Thus, in his opinion, a narrow understanding of the technology is that it is a set of rules , techniques , methods of obtaining , handling or processing of raw materials, intermediate products , products used in industry. One of the broad understanding of the technology found in the works of Norman Vig . Technology , he says, as " a new discipline based on the philosophy of technology , there is only in recent decades. Its basic premise is that technology has come to play a central role for our existence and way of life, and therefore should be investigated as a fundamental human characteristic . " Overview repressed lately technologies shows that are replaced by new technologies with a clearly defined area of potential applications. For example, we are talking about genetic engineering , synthetic genomics , stem cell treatment in biology and health, hydrogen and geothermal energy , wireless transmission of electricity , artificial intelligence , computer vision , spintronics , bezekrannom display , nanotechnology , solar sail , a city under the dome. It turns out that intellectual thought late XX - early XXI centuries increasingly overcomes the desire to master the latest phase in the development of the world, to fit in and to anticipate the global vector of development. Modern science and technology are the factor in the process of social development, certainly determining its dynamics. Against the glorification of technology and science appeared Camus , arguing that it is impossible to turn science , engineering and technology in the hegemonic social evolution , consider them in isolation from the everyday problems of everyday life. Meanwhile, it is an exaggerated attitude to engineering and technology was typical of Western social science in the XX . Of scientific concepts they have become a myth. Ironic about such myths , French scientist and writer Bertrand de Jouvenel wrote: " Technology . She spews at us good and makes demands , from which it is impossible to avoid . As the Great Chariot Juggernaut , it paves the way coming through caught in its path and contributions should be her on the pinnacle of success . "
