Technological and social changes in the third millennium
Experts believe that there is a gradual replacement of industrial capitalism with new, completely different social and economic systems. A variety of terms are used to define this phenomenon: “postindustrialism”, “postfordism”, “postmodernism”, “information age”, “network society”, etc. While the names of the new society vary, there is general agreement that traditional industrial capitalism will be complemented by new forms of production, consumption, and social organization. Such changes are associated with some results of organizational and technical restructuring due to mass production and consumption. All this requires analysis. This report should be seen as an invitation to explore some of the trends and trends and what they mean for those involved in the production, marketing and use of NEW AGE refrigeration.
