41. Processes Resilience in the Digital Environment

The information society and the digital economy have not reduced the list of
universal problems, some of these problems (social inequality, refugees and IDPs,
migrants, terrorism, drugs, global warming, etc.) even exacerbation is observed. The
increase in social inequality is also observed in the information society. At the same
time, when we understand the vital importance of sustainable development, we can
see that trend (the tendency to increase inequality) is likely to weaken.

In the fight against the ecological crisis, the opportunities of the information society are
used relatively actively, and the lines of some progress are already visible. The point is
that mankind, which has been fighting with nature for tens of thousands of years, is on
the way to realize the necessity of dialogue and cooperation with nature, albeit with
unacceptable delays. It should also be noted that the expectations of the Information
Society for the solution of global environmental problems have been greater in the last
century [Орлов С. Л. (1999). Информационное общество и устойчивое развитие:
Философско - методологические аспекты. Дисс… канд. философ.наук, p.112].

It is positive that the information society can always foresee environmental disasters,
ensuring the reliability and sustainability of alarms about the growing role of
technogenic factors in environmental problems.
