Information culture "encodes" the subject and all phenomena into a certain semantic system. The technological expansion of man has reached unimaginable proportions. Man is a "God on prostheses" according to Freud (Z. Freud "Inconveniences of culture"). Man is omnipotent, but thanks to techno prostheses, our divinity is totally dependent on techno prosthesis. The danger of such a paradigm lies in the fact that the prosthesis aggressively claims the place of the One Who prosthetics, who creates the prosthesis. There are a lot of sad examples in world history when the test of strength, power, power, influence and wealth turns out to be an unbearable burden for a person. In the time in which we find ourselves, man is incredibly fragile and at the same time incredibly omnipotent. This seems to be an interesting field for research in this paper.
