A. Zhdanov. The book "Кратковременные переправы и мосты" (Bridges and Bridges) by A. A. Zhdanov is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between technology and society, highlighting the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution and its impact on human existence. The author argues that the rapid pace of technological change in modern times has led to a disconnect between the development of technology and the ability of individuals to comprehend and adapt to it, resulting in a sense of disorientation and powerlessness among people. To address this issue, the book proposes the need for a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the survival of the unification of people in a warring state. The book begins by examining the history of technology and its role in shaping society, from the Industrial Revolution to the present day. The author emphasizes the significance of bridges and bridges as symbols of connection and unity, highlighting their importance in facilitating the exchange of ideas and resources between different communities and cultures. The text then delves into the concept of the "longue durée or the long-term perspective, which is essential for understanding the evolution of technology and its impact on human civilization. The author posits that the current era of rapid technological change has created a sense of urgency and fragmentation, leading to a loss of continuity and coherence in our understanding of the world. This has resulted in a lack of awareness of the interconnectedness of technological advancements and their consequences for humanity.
