Technological progress and threats associated with it are the main topic o f Jean Baudrillard and Paul Virilio’s philosophical research. Their critical reflexions result in bold hypotheses concerning the phenomena of contemporary culture. The theory o f hyperreality and information bomb, categories o f simulation and speed are an original attempt to understand transformations o f the world. There is no doubt that technology changes its aspects and opens a lot o f new horizons. Inventions, such as the Internet, interactive media, virtual reality, hence an open access to information and communication, strongly affect human existence. Therefore, the question about a man’s place in the world dominated by technology seems to be justified.
