Online published on 15 July, 2024. Abstract In the modern world, technical development and innovations are crucial in determining social, economic, and cultural realities. The topic of the impact of these factors on global dynamics is becoming increasingly relevant, considering their continuous advancement and globalization trends. The purpose of the present academic paper is to analyze the impact of innovations and technological development on modern society, with a special focus on global transformations. The dialectical approach was used as the research methodology, supplemented by systemic, structural-functional and sociological methods. As a result of the research, the historical context of innovations, their impact on social-cultural processes and the role of technological development as a driver of global change were identified. The primary focus was on analyzing the interaction of technologies with social structures, as well as their influence on the formation of new cultural codes and identities. It has been revealed that technologies not only serve as a catalyst for social and cultural transformations but also cause a number of social challenges, including resource imbalance, risks of dehumanization and new forms of inequality. The academic paper also emphasizes the importance of adaptive strategies of society in response to technological challenges. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the dynamics of modern society by emphasizing the key role of technology in global processes and showing ways to integrate it effectively to achieve sustainable development. Highlights • Technological development has continually driven social, economic, and cultural changes throughout history. The technological boom, marked by innovations like artificial intelligence, blockchain, biotechnology, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, and the Internet of Things, plays a pivotal role in shaping global society and fostering both opportunities and challenges, such as social inequality, ethical dilemmas, and environmental concerns, in the context of globalization dynamics.
