New Technological Revolution And Social Development

At present,the wave of new technology revolution is coming.We can clearly see the splashing waves and hear the waves lapping on the shore! When human beings go out of Africa,when the sparks of civilization ignite in the world,and when the train of history runs to the present day,the spray of new technology revolution seems to be the most beautiful fireworks to welcome human beings into the information society.In the long journey that human civilization spreads all over the earth and will march into the solar system and the galaxy,we have ushered in one technological revolution after another.So what will the arrival of the new technological revolution bring us? Where are humans going? How will our life change? What kind of driving force will the ever-moving historical train obtain? These are major theoretical and practical issues that we need to seriously consider.Science and technology have always been the key driving factors in the resultant system of social development.When people lighted the first bonfire,polished the first stone axe,forged the first iron,and made the first locomotive,we could always see the shadow of science and technology behind them.Marx has pointed out earlier that for social development,science and technology is the "revolutionary force in the highest sense" and "powerful lever".Deng Xiaoping's assertion that "science and technology are the first productive forces" is well known and deeply rooted in the people's minds.There is a close relationship between science and technology and social development.They are interdependent,interactive and infiltrative.The development and change of science and technology will lead to the leap change of social system,and social progress in turn will promote the development of science and technology.This two-way interactive and progressive relationship has been fully reflected in the occurrence and development of the five scientific and technological revolutions in modern times.The main body of social development is human beings.The social development led by human beings is a practice process of "has the final say" for the sake of human,depending on people,and the results should be enjoyed by people and the development effects should be "calculated" by the people.The process of social development refers to the historical process in which people,as the main body of development,under the control of certain development concepts,use certain development methods to meet their own development needs and achieve their own development goals.Whether the society has developed well or not is determined by the conformity of the development process to the value standard of the development subject and the satisfaction of the development result to the needs of the development subject.This is the theoretical basis for the study of the relationship between the new technological revolution and social development.The tide of the new scientific and technological revolution is impacting all fields of human society.Under the baptism of the tide of the new scientific and technological revolution,human society is undergoing unprecedented and profound changes in production and life.From the perspective of development subject,the new scientific and technological revolution has directly attacked the existence of human "noumenon",converged new technological forces such as biotechnology,information technology,nanotechnology,etc.,effectively enhanced the development ability of human subject,strengthened and confirmed human subjectivity,played a forceful role in promoting human self-development in an all-round way.At the same time,it has also endowed human development with new connotation and characteristics.From the perspective of development concept,under the condition of new scientific and technological revolution,it is necessary and realistic to realize the transformation of values from the concept of mutually harmful development to the concept of mutually beneficial development,from the simple thinking mode of development to the complex thinking mode,and from the traditional concept of global governance to the concept of shared development.From the perspective of development mode,the breakthrough of new science and technology is driving the change of production mode.The new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence,Internet of things,big data,cloud computing,blockchain,etc.is constantly crowding the whole human society into an intelligent era and creating a new life for people because of its amplification,superposition and multiplication effect on social productivity way,subverting people's existing way of communication.When we rejoice in the great changes brought about by the new scientific and technological revolution to human society,we can't help but see clearly that the new scientific and technological revolution itself also has a high risk,which pushes human beings to the "civilized volcano" with new forms and new strength.Our society has been marked with "high risk" and become a "high risk society".Based on the perspective of scientific and technological revolution,the high risk of new scientific and technological revolution has actually become the main source of high risk in contemporary society.This high risk is largely due to the unreasonable use of science and technology.The unreasonable use of science and technology has increased the uncertainty of social development,spawned social development problems and made them serious.Big data technology is bringing many new security challenges,and privacy security,data disclosure,data abuse and other issues are increasingly becoming potential dangers.Improper use of genetically modified technology will lead to social problems such as food chain damage,drug resistance,immunity,food safety and so on.The disaster consequences of nuclear energy and nuclear technology are incalculable,and cancer and sterility caused by nuclear pollution are becoming more and more serious diseases,such as diseases,congenital defects,immune diseases and genetic variation,are huge problems that human beings have to face.Disease challenges,new high-tech crimes and terrorist activities have become rather intractable social problems;global problems directly or indirectly caused by the progress of science and technology will seriously harm the well-being of human beings.The continuous emergence of contemporary development problems reminds us that we must be cautious about the high risks of the new scientific and technological revolution itself.In particular,we must regulate and guide the rational operation of the new scientific and technological revolution to make it develop in the direction expected by mankind.And better development is the development form and direction that human beings expect.In the process of achieving a better development,we need to regulate the development,utilization and evolution direction of emerging science and technology,adhere to the principles of humanity,green development and low-cost development,and guide the new science and technology revolution with the concept of holistic development and the concept of mutually beneficial development,so as to make it work in the direction conducive to a better development of mankind.On the basis of a macro survey of the relationship between the new technological revolution and social development,we also need to use the historical telescope to observe the new technological revolution in China.Under the historical sky of the occurrence and development of the new scientific and technological revolution,we have ushered in "a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics".The new scientific and technological revolution and the development of China in the new era have formed a rare historical intersection.Only by grasping the relationship between the scientific and technological revolution and the development of new China in the development process of the concept of scientific and technological revolution of the Communist Party of China,can we combine the theory and reality,and integrate the world vision and national vision.Based on the present situation,the development practice of China's construction of a modern powerful country is simultaneous with the occurrence and development of the new technological revolution,which provides a rare historical opportunity for China's development.Looking forward to the future,we must make full use of the opportunities of the new technological revolution,push forward China's high-quality development,and then realize the grand goal of building a modern powerful country.Therefore,we must take measures according to local conditions and work hard from the aspects of leadership core,value orientation,thinking method,concept guidance and practice path,so as to create a better life and better development to meet and cope with the arrival of the new technological revolution.
