Abstract

This paper focuses on the sociological and legal analysis of the effects of the development of rapid technological advancements. The focus is on the need to rethink new technologies and the process of hyperconnectivity. The theoretical discussion is embedded in the framework of the chosen philosophical and social approaches. It starts with the attempt to understand the essence of the discussed changes and poses several questions to be answered. The authors analyze several mediating notions such as social values, axionormative order, legal regulations, the human position towards technological advancements, etc. Further analysis leads to a discussion of the legal context of these problems. The authors search for answers to many fundamental questions to open avenues for building coherent legal pillars of social order based on human values. To achieve these goals, they use a sociological and legal approach that is based mainly on criticism of writing and the analytical and synthetic methods.
