Models oftransformation that rely on the new concept of freedom without responsibility,which subliminally dehumanizes both the individual and society, are especiallyexplored. This concept positions the modern world is placed outside the realand effective control of humans, as digital technology at the individual levelhas begun to alter the mind, ethics, and mutual relations, thereby transformingsociety as a whole.
