Technological imperatives as an alternative means of regulating public relations

Introduction. Technological imperatives serve as one of the most powerful means of managing modern social relations. They are embedded in our life unconsented; moreover, it happens without the consent of legislators, public authorities, and other people involved in governing the state. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was made up of general scientific dialectical and formallogical methods. This enabled the authors to determine that any technological imperative is nothing but a fait accompli, which can be neither refuted, cancelled nor ignored. However, its emergence often depends on people being far from governing, particularly the state power. Results. Each imperative makes our life easier, but they, on the other hand, create many problems. Imperatives transform various aspects of everyday life, at the same time they make it possible to form numerous criminal patterns making law enforcers to react late.Tardiness is exactly the term to define the activity of the governmental system in relationto any of technologies implemented in a person’s daily life.In turn, the parallelism,alternativity of legal regulation of certain processes taking place in society are easily done by new technologies, independently being embedded in all areas of human activity. Failure of the state to manage this sort of things leads to an inevitable uncertainty in all legal regulation, where ‘imaginary’ advisability has long ago absorbed legality, breaking off the age-old debate about the relationship between these categories.
