In this paper, we look through the prism of social trends and technological development. In this relation we emphasize the importance of technological advancement and technological developments, its enormous contribution to economic and social development of humanity on a global scale. At the same time, we are trying to point out, that is illustrative to recall the frequent consequences of technological developments, the consequences for human health and the environment. Also, to underline the use of technological advances as a means of power management and governance, and hold countries and nations in a subordi- nate position. We did not hesitate to cristalize the threat of technological developments as well as the intent to preserve that re lationship, or strengthen the already powerful benefi ts of technological culture over the rest of the world. The intention is to emphasize the importance of processing technology culture spiritual values, because we believe that without understanding the spiritual side of things, only a technological society will be reduced to one dimension and it does not provide complete peace, progress, stability or spiritual can be no long -term development of the welfare society. We have emphasized some indicators of economic and social difficulties in Serbia as the country's huge debt, unemployment, inconsistent and often illegal privatization, the low standard of living and the loss of social security, territorial threat, political pressure and conditio- nality.
