Paul Watzlawick, an Austrian sociologist and psychotherapist, set out a famous axiom about the necessity of communication. He said “One cannot not communicate”. From this point of view on culture and digital technologies, when we use social networks, various communication applications, computers, smartphones and watches on a large scale, and when we have smart buildings and cities, we could set another axiom: “One cannot not to use digital technologies” (whether for communication, work, art or some other purposes). With so much technology in our hands, on our skin, on our bodies, in our bodies and in our minds, haven't we become cyborgs - half people, half machines? People usually refuse to admit it.
