Cyril and Methodius in Trnava Námestie Jozefa Herdu 2, 917 01 Trnava SLOVAK REPUBLIC https://fmk.sk/en/, www.mlar.sk IČO 36 078 913 Editorial When considering the impact that a pandemic era has and will have on the quality of human and social life, many questions and even more significant variations of answers arise. The age, which significantly collides with the era of hyperconnectivity, or activates this era to a greater extent, brings with it a critical dilemma concerning the improvement of the quality of life of the digitized individual. This dilemma takes the form of a renewed discourse on the advantages and disadvantages of its constant digital connectivity. It seems that the philosophy, according to which this individual has lived so far and which W. Powers describes as the concept of „Digital Maximalism“ is getting severe cracks. In the practice of total connectivity in the Covid-19 pandemic era, it is necessary to anticipate the arguments for and against this philosophy, which he subconsciously applied. Maximum screen time brings, on the one hand, increased productivity, speed and efficiency, but also the ability to nourish the mind, heart and soul of man through digital connections with others. On the other hand, such an approach touches its limits in confrontation with the current lifestyle, the needs of individuals and current social practice. It is questionable to what extent technologies can saturate the real needs of man and support the optimal and at the same time valuable functioning of society. There is no doubt that the answers to these questions will be reconsidered in the context of a pandemic, and the post- pandemic reality will reflect the basic needs and values of man and society as such. Within the outlined starting points and intentions, it seems that a different philosophy of life of the digitized individual, defining against permanent hyperconnectivity, is currently gaining in importance. The one that C. Newport describes in his work as Digital Minimalism. His central thesis is that in our relationship with digital means, less can mean more. This philosophy, which emphasizes the need for a slowdown, reflection, or the value of silence and loneliness in response to the loss of depth and diversion of the individual from one's interior, especially under the influence of constant interactions, information overload and a busy digital world. It also supports our entry into the resistance, as a means of sensible defensive action against the „traders with our attention and our time“ that the social media represents. Thus, it brings rest and relief to the technologically overburdened individual in times of global health crisis. It also allows a return to the classic analogue conversation that one desires following one's nature and an overall rediscovery of analogue activities that will provide him/her with deeper and longer-term satisfaction. The aim is to achieve valuable forms of human personality development even without the help of digital means, which the current time intensively demands. At the same time, this philosophy helps to restart the life of man, in which technology acts only as an aid in achieving his meaningful goals. The current situation thus represents a challenge for individuals to decide on the wise use of digital means, resp. highlights the need to learn this through media education strategies. Prenský's concept of digital wisdom is, therefore gaining in importance much more than ever before.
