Why are people afraid of technology?

According to Boris Glazkov, Rostelecom's vice president for strategic initiatives , modern technologies are too complex to explain the principles of their operation to a mass consumer. As a result, people are afraid of them because they don't understand how they work.


A prime example is the hysteria surrounding chipping or 5G towers. At the same time, it was thanks to 5G technology in China that newly built hospitals were provided with high-speed Internet. Telemedicine (including online monitoring of the lungs), delivery robots and disinfectants worked with it.


It turns out that new technologies seem to benefit everyone, but instead of talking about it, online portals and bloggers are spreading conspiracy theories to catch up with more traffic. Telecom operators, equipment developers and, as a result, consumers themselves suffer from this.


Olga Bychkova, head of the STS Center at the European University at St. Petersburg , believes that it is necessary to take into account the context in which people talk about technology and innovation. For example, gender and social status of respondents, as well as how and in what conditions they use new technologies.


For example, when home telephones appeared in the United States in the 19th century, housewives used them to eavesdrop on neighbors. This is not at all what the inventors of telephones thought about. But it is precisely from such details that our attitude to certain technical innovations is formed.
