The diversity of human culture is fixed in its codes, that is, in models of relations, behavior and activities of people. Today, in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, one of the system-forming cultural codes - the hierarchical division of society into the elite and the masses is dramatically transformed. Understanding the new cultural realities in the transition of society to a new “digital” state is based on Alexei Leontyev’s theory of consciousness activity and the concept of “ideal” by Evald Ilyenkov. The methods of philosophical reflection analyze the change in the essential characteristics of the cultural subcode "elite - masses" when the conditions of society are changing. This cultural subcode itself is being transformed; a new “technological elite” is emerging based on nano-bio-info-cognitive technologies (NBIC-technologies). At the same time, and thanks to the same technologies and squeezing out the masses of people from the production process, more broadly, from the struggle for existence, the process of mass degradation and the reduction of thinking as a creative activity to stamps, while cliches and memorized patterns of movement are intensifying. Philosophical and culturalological understanding of the consequences of the technological revolution, the transformation of the cultural subcode "elite - masses" is an important area of research into the structure of the new type of social organization that is emerging in our lifetime.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, finally, will change not only what we do but also who we are. It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure, and how we developour careers, cultivate our skills, meet people, and nurture relationships. The technological revolution in the modern developing environment in which innovative technologies and trends such as the virtual reality (VR), Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics are fundamentally altering the way of living, working and relationships to one another, is known as Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 or Industrie 4.0. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping every sphere of human life — from government to commerce; from education to healthcare. It is even impacting humanvalues, opportunities, relationships and identities by modifying virtual as well as physical worlds of human beings.

If the fourth industrial revolution should be the revolution of values, where people, more than ever, are at the center of everything, it may be the technology that gives us the ability to place ourselves in that privileged position. However, there is consensus that the fourth industrial revolution is not defined by a set of emerging technologies in themselves, but by the transition to new systems that are built on the infrastructure of the digital revolution that we have already lived. The speed of the advances experienced in the last decade, along with the scope and impact of these in society, have allowed us to understand that we have reached a new technological revolution. The convergence, that is the real revolution, not only of digital technologies but also physical and biological will allow humanity to face the great challenges that have been marked for decades or centuries.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have an important role in the development of countries, especially in developing ones like Vietnam, but access to capital of this type of business is always difficult, while the support of the Vietnamese government has not been effective or negligible. However, the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0) have created a new type of business — Fintech companies which provide SMEs an easier way to access capital. Nevertheless, the concept of Fintech is relatively new in Vietnam and the operation of these companies implicit certain risks. Therefore, in order to help SMEs take advantage of this non-bank capital resource, the authorities are asked to promulgate laws or decrees for business environment of Fintech companies.

The aim of the industrial revolution is to completely change the industrial processes. An important pillar of this change is the robots. With Industry 4.0, production will be completely transferred to robots capable of communicating with each other, recognizing needs with data analysis, and detecting the environment with sensors. The inclusion of robots in the production process will reduce the need for human labor and this will lead to an increase in unemployment.  For the purpose of solving this problem, in 2017 “robot taxing” was proposed by Bill Gates to the literature. The employers who choose to employ a robot are required to pay tax according to Bill Gates’ proposition. These taxes will be used for the aim of reducing unemployment and helping to minimize the inequality of income. Turkey's fourth industrial revolution can be said to follow behind. However, it is still to prepare the policy in question. The problem of taxing robots is encountered. In this paper, it is aimed to evaluate the applicability of a possible robot taxation system in Turkey.

Der umfassende Einsatz von vernetzten Industrierobotern mit verbesserten sensorischen, motorischen sowie fertigungstechnischen Eigenschaften ist ein wichtiger Enabler von Industrie 4.0. Diese Entwicklung wird jedoch nicht nur die Produktion an sich verändern, sondern auch die Produktionsstätten, in denen diese Formen der Industrieproduktion stattfinden. Dieser Beitrag stellt die räumlichen Anforderungen an Industriebauten vor und aggregiert diese in einen neuen Fabriktypus: die Robofaktur.   The increasing application of industrial robots with enhanced capabilities is an important enabler for the fourth industrial revolution. This development, however, will not only change the production process itself, but also has implications on the production facilities. This article introduces the spatial requirements for industrial buildings of the fourth industrial revolution and aggregates them in a new factory typology, the robo-factory.
