Sažetak
The current pandemic caused by COVID-19 disease raised a possibility of negative long-term consequences on the individual cognitive abilities. The cognitive abilities in the nowadays society are not only at risk from the putative viral infections, but as well from the environmental pollutants like endocrine disruptors. Here we wanted to discuss the imaginary scenarios where the acquired cognitive declines would be extreme and easily noticeable, which due to the connection to the viral cause and behavioral changes we referred as “zombification” of humanity. One of the key aspects of “zombification” process is the ability and right of the affected individuals to participate in societal activities. In the context of digital society, the digital citizens are globally interconnected which influences the participants and allows them to influence others (i.e., prosumer activities where the individual is both producer and consumer of the digital content). How cognitive abilities relate to the digital activities is rather unclear. The individuals with cognitive deficits are especially vulnerable to various types of digital frauds. Moreover, being a digital citizen with access to digital technologies and connectivity is increasingly considered as an essential human right. It is puzzling if biological agents (e.g., viruses) have abilities to interfere with dynamics of digital interactions and their societal context.
