Information Dimension of Anthropologic Crisis of Civilization (to the Information Impact on a Person, Human Psychology and Biology)

Abstract

The article considers information aspect of the civilization crisis. Informatization is of ambivalent effect on people. This is associated with excess of information that can result in stress, mental overload and dyscrasia of the nervous system. The latter can give rise to cascade of failures in other body systems. The author concludes that considerable part of human mental disorders and somatic diseases can be caused by information impact. The major way-out from the situation is seen not in restricting information flows, but in improving selective technologies through extending reasonable planning elements.
