Techno-Social Dilemma

The ever-more rapid evolution and growing interconnection of technological systems deeply affect society. It creates a VUCA world in which people are continuously bombarded with disconnected snippets of information, many of which refer to problems and dangers. For people growing up in such a world, such as the present generation Z, it is difficult to find meaning in life or to see the direction in which the world is heading. In other words, they lack a sense of coherence. The resulting psychological and ethical confusion, anxiety and sense of despair form what we call “the techno-social dilemma”.(Heylighen & Beigi, 2023)
