Thinking as a Continuously Important Process in the World of Technocracy

Abstract

Human thinking is one of the most important and most creative processes which has elevated us to the top of living creatures hierarchy and has let us achieve incredible cultural and civilization development. Today in the world of technocracy when more and more activities are taken over by technology – trying to create many trends automatically, which in some aspects makes our lives easier, but at the same time it raises more and more questions and doubts about weakening of many processes that take place in the human. Our memory is a subject of concern as a lot of information eg. telephone numbers are no more required to be memorized, which is a big advantage, but at the same time we do not train our memory and, unfortunately, it is deteriorating. The same thing happens to our thinking. Sometimes it is replaced with a device, eg. GPS is very helpful when we are in a place we do not know but we stop thinking, analyzing situations quickly, synthesizing, predicting difficulties, dangers and looking for solutions. How far have we gone in these thinking transformations? It is hard to say. However, I would like to encourage you not to resign from this autonomic creative effort of thinking which still remains very necessary for the human even in the world of technocracy.
