This article emphasizes the importance of development of new interdisciplinary branch of science called gerontechnology. The main goal of this publication is to reflect on the opportunity to adapt new technologies in the service of elderly people. In the first part I review the potential fields of application of new technologies in different spheres of life of an old person. I focus mostly on technologies used in social care, healthcare, those stimulating social and civic participation, as well as those aiming at education and entertainment. In the second part I point at various barriers and limitations that impede the applicability of new technologies on the practical ground. In the third part I elaborate on moral and ethical dilemmas which are inextricably associated with the emergence of new technologies and their exploitation by humans. Conclusions include, among others, a postulate to incorporate telecare and telemedicine solutions into the mainstream senior policy in Poland.

Artykuł podkreśla znaczenie rozwoju nowej interdyscyplinarnej gałęzi nauki zwanej gerontechnologią. Celem publikacji jest refleksja nad możliwością zaadaptowania nowych technologii w służbie seniorom. W części pierwszej dokonuję przeglądu potencjalnych możliwych zastosowań nowych technologii w różnych obszarach życia człowieka starego. Szczególną uwagę poświęcam technologiom stosowanym w opiece socjalnej, służbie zdrowia, stymulującym partycypację społeczną i obywatelską oraz służącym edukacji i rozrywce. W części drugiej zwracam uwagę na bariery i ograniczenia, które utrudniają aplikowalność rozwiązań technologicznych na gruncie praktycznym. W części trzeciej podkreślam znaczenie dylematów natury etycznej i moralnej, które nierozerwalnie towarzyszą rozwojowi nowych technologii i ich zastosowaniu w służbie człowiekowi. Wśród wniosków pojawia się postulat włączenia rozwiązań z zakresu teleopieki i telemedycyny w nurt współczesnej polityki senioralnej.

This article contains analyses of the concept of responsibility in the state of danger caused by damaging consequences of technological development. The inquiry – inspired by conceptions of Hans Jonas and Karl-Otto Apel but arguing in the “actual dialogic-reflexive” approach of transcendental discourse pragmatics – is concentrated on finding borders of our responsibility, for which parts of our action should we feel accountable. For this purpose seven obligations of a discourse partner are reconstructed by means of reflection on the presuppositions of arguing. These obligations have a transcendental-pragmatic status of implicit dialogic promises: They can be disregarded only at the price of a performative self-contradiction. Another problem which is stated in this paper is a question about justification for our moral obligations, including our obligations for the future generations and the problem of motivation to fulfil it. The last part of the article describes reflexive transcendentale arguments for including embryos in our concept of responsibility. Explaining some doubts about the status of embryos is also helping to understand better the way in which we should perceive the concept of responsibility itself. It should be taken into consideration that we live in times in which our knowledge about the world is not always standing up to our abilities to influence it. The authors emphasise that the article is actually a lecture, that invites to reading a transcendental pragmatic book: Böhler 2013/2014.
