The article considers the problem of direct "communication" of the modern man with the technology acting in the form of androids. A number of aspects of this new form of sociality is shown, such as: projection of a person onto his technical copy (the effect of self-understanding), solving the problem of immortalism, using the superhuman capabilities of android-robots, as well as non-triviality of the possibilities of animating technical humanoids. The philosophical analysis of the problem does not lead to unambiguous conclusions in all these areas of research.
