Abstract:
Modern high technologies are transforming the model of civilizational development toward increasing the value of knowledge as a necessary component of the transition from an industrial society to a post-industrial and knowledge society. Society is witnessing the realization of what in the mid-20th century seemed a distant prospect or a product of the emotion and experience industry: science fiction books and films. This paper examines the potential of modern technologies, knowledge, and information as necessary components of the high-tech development of a knowledge civilization. The theoretical and methodological foundation of the study is based on the provisions of structural-functional, systemic, and activity-based approaches. A combination of methods was employed: content analysis of openly accessible specialized scientific literature on the knowledge economy and high-tech development, as well as methods of abstraction and modeling. In the course of the research, the author drew upon the works of D. Bell and A. Toffler devoted to post-industrial society, high-tech development, the knowledge economy, and digitalization. The study also separately uses the provisions of S.D. Bodrunov on NIS.2, knowledge-intensive production, and noonomy, which make it possible to consider knowledge-intensive technologies not only as a sign of a post-industrial shift, but also as a prerequisite for deeper changes in production, labor, and social development
