Conceptual definitions of a cognitive artifact based on the theory of L.S. Vygotsky and his follower M. Cole. The forms of response by users of digital ecosystems to the spread of the influence of technology in society have been studied and the difference in this response has been stated. The reasons for this different response, due to structural changes in society, are shown. Attention is paid to the influence of cognitive artifacts of the metaverse on the perception of the consequences of emerging technological trends.
