Summary/Abstract: A text dedicated to questions connected with the city, new technologies, the pandemic, and working from home. While outlining the history of the idea of the digital revolution in the USA and China – mainly referring to the prognoses of the American futurologist and writer Alvin Toffler – the author asks about the further development of digital revolution, the civilizational future of the West and its liberal democracy, changes within the functioning of individuals and communities, the transformation of the system of the production and distribution of goods, the new organisation of workplaces, and the contemporary role of towns. He is guided by a sentence written by Rudolf Arnheim, the eminent German theoretician of visual culture: “But doing things at the same time and doing them together is not quite the same”.
