Abstract

With the appearance of new information technologies and the development of computer techniques, new social-humanitarian technologies appear. In the framework of this paper, we consider the Internet of Things- the computer web of objects- “things”, such technology. Internet of Things as a social-humanitarian technology contains manipulative component, which can influence on the consciousness of the masses and thus "programmed" them to obtain certain information. We can see find this modern advertisements, dedicated to Internet of Things, and in Internet of Things itself, because it select the information what person should get.

We also can attribute the Internet of Things to futurological humanitarian technologies. It can make a "forecast" of the future in various fields: social, cultural, economic, demographic, etc. Thanks to this technology has become possible to carry out the forecast for the development of the state of society or of the collective or the development of the industry.
