Global Information Space: A Non-linear Approach

Abstract

The study of the trends in the formation of the global digital space and the identification of threats and dangers of its development from the point of view of a nonlinear approach suggests that, on the one hand, the global digital space serves the interests of humanization, partnership, the formation of a postindustrial society on the whole earth, on the other hand, it introduces a new world order, forms representations about the unstable conflict-like self-organizing digital space (Ivushkina et al. 2017). The geopolitical dimension of the global digital space and the convergence-integration processes taking place in it in the context of cardinal global changes in the world can bring a non-linear understanding of the modern society. To do this, it is necessary to identify the theoretical, methodological and conceptual aspects of modernization trends, the contradictoriness of the world dynamics and the formation of a global digital space that play a dual role: both development triggers and destabilizing factors for the formation of a global non-linear information society that take place in the modern global world and paradigmatically - categorical grid of information knowledge. The global digital space in the context of the non-linear approach requires the analysis of threats to information impacts of the global digital space and its dangers in the sphere of public, mass, national consciousness, as well as threats to the identity and lifestyle of a person in the global digital space.
