The temporality of the socio-technological transformations of industry 4.0 has exacerbated the problem of introducing and using digital technologies in the educational process. The development in this area is due to the presence of unique global challenges, the availability of digital devices, and the experience of distance learning due to the COVI...

Research relevance. With the use of computer-electronic-digital equipment, the achievements of scientific and technological progress become part of education.

This article explores the idea accepted in the social philosophy at the turn of 20th–21st century, that the exponential growth of the speed of progress results in the technological singularity. In natural science, the process characterized by initial exponential acceleration typically reaches a saturation phase and then develops according to anothe...
