Smart-society as a stage of development of new technologies for society or as a new of social development (progress): to the problem of the problem
The article analyzes the prospects for the formation of a smart society as a stage of social progress as a result of the active application of smart technologies in social reality. The concepts of progress (R. Nisbet, P. Shtompka, K.Kh. Momdzhyan) are considered to determine the criteria for assessing the processes of social progress. Based on the derived criteria, social transformations caused by the use of smart technologies are analyzed. It is concluded that it is impossible to consider such transformations as a new stage of social progress at the present stage. At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that in the future the smart society will become such a new stage.
