Abstract: The human race has always innovated, and in a relatively short time went from building fires and making stone-tipped arrows to creating smartphone apps and autonomous robots. Today, technological progress will undoubtedly continue to change the way we work, live, and survive in the coming decades. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the world has witnessed the emergence of social media, smartphones, self-driving cars, and autonomous flying vehicles. There have also been huge leaps in energy storage, artificial intelligence, and medical science. We are facing immense challenges in global warming and food security, among many other issues. While human innovation has contributed to many of the problems we are facing, it is also human innovation and ingenuity that can help humanity deal with these issues “New directions in science are launched by new tools much more often than by new concepts. The effect of a concept-driven revolution is to explain old things in new ways. The effect of a tool-driven revolution is to discover new things that have to be explained”. (F. Dyson, 1997 In this article, we review the impact of technology as evolving at beginning of 21st Century on future prospect of Energy demand either renewable or non-renewable form, Economy, to Ecommerce, Education and any other E-related of Modern Technology.

Modern technologies are an indispensable component of the entire space of a person’s life/being, acquiring a new configuration at the beginning of the 21st century. This situation has actualized the ontological anthropological dimension of the technological shifts of the present, transforming human life and vital activity. The objective of the study is to determine the configuration of modern technology, which produces the paradox of total technological being with a danger of “loosing human physicality” and loss of human personality. This situation emphasizes the ambivalence of the relationship “man – technology”: a person actively creates and uses technological products, but at the same time the latter directly affect the formation of his personality. Technologies transform worldview discourses, affirming a new stage in the development of mankind that requires a rethinking of the basic constants of human existence/preservation. It is noted that modern technology is a new intermediary between man and nature; they change not only the natural world, but also “encroach” on human nature that holds danger of transforming a person into an element of engineering/technology. It is also emphasized that in the era of accelerated technologicalization, research discourse focuses on the possibilities of a new augmented and substituted reality. At the same time, a person physically still exists on the platform provided by the Earth, which provokes new problems between them. The impact of technology on nature and man is comprehensive. In this context, the problem of “Being a human being” (Miroslav Popovich) acquires a new sound. The article insists on urgent necessity to find support in a world that is under the control of technological innovation. In this context, the ethical imperative of Hans Jonas “one must be involved in existence” takes on a new meaning. This situation requires a rethinking of the relationship “man – technology – nature” in the coordinates “you should/should not”, which reflects both technological development and the environmental crisis of the beginning of the 21st century. It is emphasized that the ontological anthropological dimension of technological reality provides new opportunities for exploring the relationship “man – Earth”, where the latter is the matrix of human life/being.

Growth and development of technology caused enormous transformation and change in the world after Industrial Revolution. The contemporary human has prepared the platform for their realization in many activities that the humans were unable to do it in the past time and struck the dream of their realization in their mind so that today doing many of those activities have been apparently practical by human. This accelerating growth accompanied with consuming a lot of energy where with respect to restriction of the given existing resources, it created energy crises. On the other hand, along with growth in industry and requirement for manpower and immigration from village to city and basic architectural changes in houses, which have emerged due to change in social structure it has led to change in lifestyle and type and quantity of consuming energy in contemporary architecture. Inter alia, with increase in human’s capability, cooling and heating and acoustic and lighting technologies were also changed in architecture and using mechanical system was replaced by traditional systems. Application of modern systems, which resulted from growth of industry and development of technology and it unfortunately, caused further manipulation in nature and destruction of it by human in addition to improving capability and potential of human’s creativity. With respect to growth of population and further need for housing and tendency to the dependent heating and cooling systems to them in this article we may notice that the housing is assumed as the greatest consumer of energy to create balance among the exterior and interior spaces in line with creating welfare conditions for heating and cooling and lighting. The tables of energy demand prediction in Iran show that these costs and energy consumption will be dubbed with energy control smart management in architecture.

Sub-Saharan Africa has been plaque with food insecurity due to lack of adoption of modern technology to improve their productivity. Technology is the systematic application of scientific or other organized body of knowledge to practical purposes. This includes new ideas, inventions, innovations, techniques, methods and materials. Since increasing agricultural productivity is critical to meeting the continues rise in demand for food, agricultural technologies will play immense role in increasing the production of food. As a result, it is useful to examine the adoption of technologies among farmers. A multistage sampling technique was used for the selection of five hundred and fifty - six plantain farmers. The data were collected through the administration of a well-structured questionnaire on a cross-section surveyed of plantain farmers. The result of the study shown that educating the plantain farmers in Nigeria will enable them adopt new technologies which will enhance their productivity.

Technology and adult education are often discussed as two separate subjects, yet just as it is impossible to live one day without the impact of technology, it is impossible to discuss adult education without considering technology. The growth of the field of adult education and the evolution of modern technology as well as the theorists and practitioners who were instrumental in moving the fields will be considered in this article as the foundation for a paradigm shift in adult education. Since effective adult education involves not only information dissemination but communication and collaboration among its participants, online learning activities and entire online courses influence how the field itself is viewed. This new paradigm will be explored in the current and future world of adult teaching and learning.

The contemporary economy is characterized by high reliance on modern technology, IT systems, and analyses of large amounts of information and data. This reliance promotes creation of new, innovative logistics concepts. Many practitioners and scientists have described the current situation as a logistics revolution, logistics 4.0 or logistics of the 21st century. This article attempts to systematize this terminology and present the foundation of modern strategies within logistics. What influenced the creation and functioning of the contemporary logistics strategies was the logistics of information and rationalization processes occurring within it. The aim of the article is to identify the impact of information logistics on the development and functioning of selected, contemporary logistics concepts.
