Abstract

The present day and the culture we know are closely related to technological progress. This culture deeply permeates our daily life - it serves as entertainment, convenience, work and communication tool. The fact that we become increasingly dependent on technology as we move into the future is the source of many problems of a different nature. Consequently, there is a need to discuss issues such as: technological addictions, the reality of virtual reality, the impact of technology on interpersonal relationships or the consequences of digitization. This need is realized in university discussions, as was the case at the conference "Man and society in the face of technology challenges. Philosophical and cultural aspects of technical progress". It took place on May 23, 2019 in the building of the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University at 1/3 Wóycickiego Street in Warsaw. The event was organized by the CSWU Students of Philosophy Scientific Circle, and the participants came from numerous academic circles throughout Poland.
