At the same time, the leading role is given to digital technologies implemented in all sectors of the economy and spheres of human activity. It is advisable to consider scientific and technological progress as a continuous process of using advanced achievements in various fields of science, technology, technology and production in order to improve the efficiency and quality of production activities, create opportunities for more complete satisfaction of human needs. Scientific and technical development is a set of structural and functional properties that form the technical characteristics of an object. Moreover, each previous set creates conditions for the next one, which significantly exceeds the previous one, but includes the results obtained earlier. Technological stalemate is a phenomenon that occurs at a time when innovative changes exhaust their potential. There comes a period of slowdown, stagnation and stoppage of development in a certain area of technical and economic development.
