In the past, the existing technology did not make it possible to store and process such vast amounts of data as the technology today. Data had to be selected according to their necessity and were collected only about specific persons or small groups of people. Nowadays, the technologies manage to predict “patterns“ of people’s behaviour and significantly improve the effectiveness of decision-making. The question we are dealing with in the article is whether the “traditional” individual right to privacy is still fit in the era of Big Data where the individuality ceases to be of importance or whether other solutions need to be sought.

LIVING WITH URBAN EVERYDAY TECHNOLOGIES

New and complex technologies are exceedingly present and in widespread use in contemporary cities globally. The urban lifeworld is saturated with various applications of information and computing technologies, but also more rudimentary forms of technology construct and create the urban everyday life as we know it. Many forms of urban technologies are perceived first through their everyday aesthetic qualities: how they look, feel, sound, or are otherwise encountered within the streetscape. Philosophical aesthetics, however, has tended to overlook everyday technologies as a topic, often due to unquestioned ideas of how a city should ideally look and feel. Thus, a more realistic approach to contemporary cities is needed, in which the deep-seated role of technologies is recognized and the experiences related to their entangled uses become acknowledged. This paper brings together recent developments in urban aesthetics with some of the core ideas of post-phenomenological approaches to new urban technologies.

The paper concerns on G.W. F. Hegel’s philosophy of technology. By assuming two methodological strategies – reading selected paragraphs of Hegel’s texts where he speaks about technology and deducing the essence of technology as a concept – this paper describes the key ideas shaping the German idealist’s philosophy of technology. Three main issues are discussed: 1. the role Hegel assigns to the instrumental action of man; 2. the relation between tool production and culture as objectivisation of the human being; and 3. why technology is dialectical. The aim is therefore to show that Hegelian notions such as “mediation”, “cunning of reason”, and “dialectics”, were meant by Hegel himself to be used to think about technology, which is necessary to develop their full potential in contemporary discussions about technological progress, and to thus fill the gap in philosophy of technology caused by misinterpretations of Hegel as a pure idealist with no interest in technology.

(Polish title: Surowiec, produkcja i uzytkowanie narzedzi krzemiennych w neolicie na Dolnym Slasku na przykladzie zespolu z osady w Ksieginicach Wielkich, stan. 29 pow. strzelinski). The paper presents results of technological and functional analyses of flint artefacts from the site 29 at Ksieginice Wielkie, distr. Strzelin (SW Poland) dated back to the Lengyel culture. In our studies we took into consideration all phases of raw material transformation starting from its procurement, methods of blank production to the use and maintenance of tools. As a result of these studies, including more than 600 artefacts, we reached some interesting conclusions about adaptation of local group/groups inhabiting the settlement to the local raw material conditions, characterized by medium quality concretions obtained from moraine deposits. In the light of analyses it follows that in case of the site at Ksieginice Wielkie we deal with economical resource management. It appears that inhabitants of Ksieginice Wielkie reconciled their daily needs with local raw material situation. Finally, it should be mentioned that this model concerns only the situation from Ksieginice Wielkie and without former analyses taking into account such factors as the access to raw material or the length and way of exploitation of particular area, should not be applied to other sites.

The paper is an attempt of the systematic presentation and explication of diversity in attitudes towards various contemporary technological phenomena in classical avant-gardes. The point of departure is the anthropological consideration of the sense of technology in general, according to A. Gehlen. The positive and negative accentuation of technology ('fascination' and 'nausea') in German Expressionism, its adoration in Futurism and Meyerhold's theater and its interiorization in post-Expressionism and Surrealism indicate not only different perception of various phenomena of civilization but also different and progressing understanding of the creative, traditional culture and politics.

Considering the importance of technology for industrial structure upgrading, especially under the impetus of the fourth industrial revolution, the paper examines the impact of technology importation on industrial structure upgrading in 31 Chinese provinces from 2002 to 2020. It also emphasises the moderating role of institutional environment based on two dimensions of industrial upgrading. The findings indicate that technology importation has a positive effect on industrial advancement; however, its impact on industrial rationalisation is not significant. A higher-quality institutional environment can indirectly contribute to the impact of technology importation on industrial upgrading. Finally, the effects of technology importation and institutional environment on industrial upgrading vary with regions, and there are also differences in the moderating effects of different aspects of institutional quality. Therefore, the article suggests that technology should be introduced according to the institutional environment of different regions, and the government should develop personalised industrial upgrading strategies.

The purpose of this paper is to present a new paradigm and an innovative technology for thinking about the future. The concept of time synchronization is introduced as a technology to improve individual competency for balancing the continuous construction of reinterpreted pasts, presents and futures in order to cope with the acceleration of change, complexity, and uncertainty. This new paradigm is driven by recognition of three factors: 1) Humans are both conservative and novelty generating. 2) Novelty is a key factor of life and humans address novelty through pattern-evolving creativity. 3) Reality is defined through the unique ability of humans to anticipate and define experience in terms of pattern and category. This article asserts that rapidly expanding human plurality and novelty require new models concerning relationships of past, present, and future. Such models should adequately address the rapidly changing and more complex conditions in which they are constructed and deconstructed, including the expanding opportunities that accompany them.

Technology contributed essentially to the change of civilisation eras, from the industrial to informational and knowledge civilisation observed now. The change has a social character, but resulted from technology. The related dematerialization of work was desired by many social thinkers, but ironically, they often condemned technology as an autonomous, alienating, dehumanising force, as a technocratic tool of enslavement or functionalist view of the world. This is still a reason of the lack of understanding of technology by social sciences, in particular by postmodern social philosophy. An acceptable definition of technology at the beginnings of knowledge civilisation era is proposed in the paper; it stresses that technology is a basic human faculty that concentrates on the creation of artifacts needed for humanity in dealing with nature. As suggested by Heidegger, technology is, in its essence, a truth revealing, creative activity, thus it is similar to arts. It is also, for the most part, a problem solving activity. This definition stresses also the necessary distinction between technology proper and the system of its socio-economic applications. The relation of technology proper and basic science forms a positive feedback loop: technology supplies tools and poses new problems and concepts for basic science; basic science produces results later applied in technology. More important is the second positive feedback loop between technology proper and the system of its socio-economic applications, which are managed by technology brokers, i.e. entrepreneurs, managers, bankers, etc. This second feedback loop brings about most social and economic results of technology, but at the same time it might result in grave dangers, because processes of socio-economic adoption of technological novelties in this feedback loop are avalanche-like. Such processes are known e.g. in nuclear reactors, where must be controlled and stabilised by additional negative feedback. If this additional stabilisation does not work properly, disasters might occur. An intuitive perception of the threat of such disasters is the essential reason of the condemnation of technology by social sciences. In socio-economic adoption of technology, the stabilisation of avalanche-like processes is Achieved by market mechanism, but this mechanism on high technology markets does not function ideally and, obviously, markets do not resolve ethical issues of technology adoption. Since technology brokers are educated mostly by social, economic, management sciences, the responsibility for socio-economic applications of technology, for overseeing the effective limitations of blind social fascination with technology lies also at social sciences. We also are repeating and strengthening, in new conditions, the Heideggerian warning about human fascination with technological possibilities: we must take care in the knowledge civilisation era not to become blinded by the seemingly unlimited possibilities of products and services offered by technology, in particular – we must take care to preserve our intellectual environment , the intellectual heritage of humanity. .

The article analyses the basic aspects of technological and innovation development. The history and present state of understanding of the technology is discussed both in general and economically in particular. Hard and soft technologies are distinguished between. The categorization of production factors is characterized from the view of technology development, and so are transfer and diffusion of technology, and sustainable technology development. The concept of innovation and intra- and extra-enterprise sources of innovation are dealt with. By the way of conclusion, technological and innovation policies and their development stages are analysed.

According to the General education curriculum for primary schools, seven most important skills to be acquired by pupils include “the ability to use modern information and communication technologies, also for the purpose of finding and applying information”. The recommendations accompanying these provisions, concerning the conditions and the method of curriculum implementation, leave us in no doubt: classes should take place in rooms in which each pupil has a computer connected to the internet at his or her disposal. This reflects commonly expressed postulates of opening the education system to the real problems of the modern world and to sources of information outside school. The article analyses contemporary computer course books with regard to the use by the pupils of internet resources: education portals and websites. The author tries to answer the question what today, in an era of unavoidable technology, hampers its effective introduction into the teaching and learning processes.

The term Turnovská kompozice (Turnov composition) has been introduced for the coloured glasses that were used in the Turnov region for grinding of jewellery and gemstones imitating natural precious stones. The local “soft stones” as the glass compositions were called were very popular not only in Bohemia but also abroad. The latest documented find from Slovakia is represented by rosettes excavated at Levoča in 2001. The History of Glass Symposium in 2006 has classified them to be a Turnov glass composition.

LOST IN THE QUEST FOR NOVELTY (REMARKS ON THE ROLE OF OPENNESS OF THE CULTURE TO REPETITIONS)

Repetitions can be analysed from various perspectives: historical, moral, legal, commercial etc. Their evaluation varies depending on the point of view one chooses to adopt. For instance, plain repetition (copying) can be considered a theft from the moral perspective, while in the same time it can be considered beneficial from the perspective of culture propagation. From the perspective of memetics, such repetitions are necessary for the memes to survive and the tendency to repeat those “memes” constitutes their fitness to cultural environment. To be closer to biological analogy one should recognize those repetitions as replications. From such perspective the program of reducing replications through the means of “prohibition” becomes not only absurd and unreachable but also it would significantly slow or even push the process of evolution backwards. One should notice that any restrictions on copying were absent in various historical periods. For instance, one of the most important ideals of culture in middle ages was exact copying and preserving the works of the Antique, obviously without any permission of the authors or their successors. It is not until the time when the artistic value becomes reduced to its commercial value that the problem of an intellectual theft arises. No artist works in an intellectual vacuum, thus no one has the full rights to the composition. There are two main reasons for such introducing the concept of an intellectual value. The first is the liberalization of the society leading to its decay into individuals aiming at their own interests. The other is the rapid growth of the “new media” technology, which allows for mindless copying – disregarding any justification or understanding. The latter is not a big problem due to the error elimination in the process of evolution. The former, however, as leading to the disintegration of society is really dangerous. In the nature it would result in the species extinction. In the culture some similarities can also be seen and will be analysed in the present paper.

This paper presents an attempt to apply Ingarden's conception of states of affairs to the engineering model of artefacts. The authorI briefly sketches this theory and shows how it should be extended to grasp the relevant aspects of artefacts. The extension he constructs makes it possible to philosophically categorize such notions as design, function, structure, and behavior.

Present paper discusses the various interpretations of the 9th c. material culture on the northernmost periphery of Transdanubia, Northwestern Hungary. Highlighting the archaeologically observable elements of the 9th c. cultures via the latest results of settlement archaeology in the researched region, the article presents finds and their wider context from the sites at two early medieval centres: Visegrád (Danube Bend) and Győr (by the confluence of the River Danube and the River Rába). During the train of thought, some relevant data is provided on trade, technology, and knowledge transfer between the Northern Transdanubian area and its northern neighbouring regions, data on gastronomy, archaeo-zoological data, various economic strategies and settlement structures in relation with the Western Slavic territories. The article is an attempt at a sophisticated answer to the research issue, whether the region along the river Danube had been a peripheral border region, no man’s land or contact zone with vivid interregional connections.

A review of endogenous growth models is given. The USA can keep up as the global leader thanks to the vast domestic market, the effective corporate sector, capabilities for financing large-scale projects, and, most importantly, the excellent science & technology performance along with perfect education system and innovation capacities. The S&T performance in the USA is shown by use of abundant statistical data (including retrospective ones) on R&D expenditures compared with selected countries of the world, R&D financing by source, R&D expenditures by performing sector, R&D funds of leading universities, R&D funds of universities and colleges by research fields, R&D expenditures and domestic sales of high tech industries. The companies' role in R&D financing is emphasized, with reference to the Bayh-Dole Act as a powerful engine for R&D and technology transfer. The American economy's position in the world market as the largest supplier of commercial knowledge-intensive services, high tech products and information & communication services is shown. Also, concerns of the American scientific community are mentioned: the shrinking share of the USA in the global high tech exports, imbalance between the American investment in high tech and knowledge intensive activities of other countries and the foreign direct investment in these activities in the USA; negative balance of foreign trade in high tech commodities; the degrading quality of education when the demand for qualified workforce is met by immigrants.
