Information technologies and nature similarity in the development of society's infrastructure

Digitalization, which is based on information technology (it), changes all aspects of life. These changes are superimposed on the previous evolution of man and the natural environment. There is a critical dependence on technology, which can cause a collapse in society, economy and nature. The article deals with the issues related to the inclusion of new structural elements in the natural and information environment. There is a demand for a holistic, from the standpoint of improving the quality and safety of life, consideration of nature – like solutions: on the one hand – the introduction of it into the environment changed by technology, and on the other-the possibility of using nature-like technologies in the implementation and development of it. The metaphor of nature likeness is considered in relation to these aspects. A system of basic concepts in the context of the use of nature-like technologies in solving problems of digitalization is proposed. The issues of convergence of technologies on the example of functions to ensure the safety of subjects, as well as the advantages and limitations of objects of biological and technological evolution. The classification of security threats in natural and technical systems in the conditions of digitalization and related issues of goal-setting and adaptation of society to changes are given. It is noted that for the first time society and nature are connected by a single information framework based on global public communications and information processing capabilities. The formation of a universal history for each of the objects reflected in it, together with new opportunities, generates significant security threats and risks in the human environment of the object. It is noted that nature-like technologies can help in solving many problems in the introduction of digital technologies, including in solving the problems of ensuring the safety of activities in the digital infrastructure.
