Abstract
Today one of the most important issues is the search for controlled ways of sustainable development of civilization, society, and a human. Previously, the development of society was determined by natural and evolutionary factors based on the principle of natural selection of living organisms and populations. However, as social institutions are developing, the technological factors of development, determined by the ideas about this phenomenon - the special arrangement of productive forces and the need to protect or change the environment, began to appear. The end of the 20th century was marked by the realization of a new, universal form of economic and technological synthesis - convergence, which, in the process of developing science and improving technology, became so comprehensive and widespread that today it can be called the force that transforms the environment. In this regard, it is convergent technologies that become the focus and the basis for research of the processes uniting the main spheres of human activity - science, society and technology, which will lead to a new form of interaction with the environment, conditioned not only by scientific and technological changes and social factors, but also new organizational forms of their interaction.
Highlights
Convergent technologies arise at the intersection of different technologies, for example bioand nanotechnologies, information and cognitive technologies, etc., which requires interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research of the science and technology
Convergent technologies are a purely technical tool of activity. They should have a broad interpretation such as the attitude of a human being to the environment, which includes the activity and reflexive components, which allows taking into account the ecological component in convergence
The NBIC-convergence model is not sufficient to answer the challenge of modern environmental requirements, since it carries a reflexive component that can only be tested with the help of SNBIC-convergence, which includes an environmentally-oriented consciousness of people
Summary
Convergent technologies arise at the intersection of different technologies, for example bioand nanotechnologies, information and cognitive technologies, etc., which requires interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research of the science and technology. For Russian economy if means technological alley between mining, machinery, chemistry, biotechnologies [1,2,3,4]. Huge speed of development of the technogenic world, the emergence of global information and communication technologies, a giant network covering the whole world, modify modern spirituality in its various ways. The expansion of modern technologies forms their risks and dangers, a threat to human and his existence on the earth. There are optimistic forecasts of technospheric genesis, promising to improve the environment, the very essence of a human, to create his har-
