Abstract

At present there is more than half of the world population who is currently using the Internet, due to which it seems relevant to develop not only technical, but also humanitarian and metaphysical views and theories that can serve the basis for the analysis of this phenomenon. The aim of these areas of studies should be rethinking of the role and place of man in the structure of modern society, as well as the role and place of the society in human life. The methodology for these processes comprehension lies in the plane of ontology, social philosophy and anthropology, based on the integration of the latter with cybernetics and mathematics, synergetics and mathematical modeling. Systemic and historical methods are inevitably capable of synthesizing the results of such a methodological approach, leading to the appearance of neologisms, the explication of new notions that most adequately reflect the essence of modern processes. The article illustrates a number of phenomena that should be studied with the aim of forming a person not as an object, but as a subject of global digital communication.

Highlights

  • Space and time as the concepts that embody the physical model of the world, demonstrate at present a number of surprises

  • The existential essence of the interman is directly in experiencing the whole range of varieties of moments of being-in-the-network, beginning from sluggish, stochastic and aimless web-surfing to the virtual love passion; from non-commitment communication with quasi-friends to the intense and effective professional freelance activities that brings to life the urgent need to develop and implement the methods assessing the degree of his/her cyber efficiency, as well as the level of cyber integration into the Network

Summary

Introduction

Space and time as the concepts that embody the physical model of the world, demonstrate at present a number of surprises. Once within the coordinate system of 3-dimensional space, which would either become denser or would stretch, we would lose the feeling of objective reality, i.e. the reality of the objective world. This is exactly what happens when we are in the digital world. This is an objective process, whose analogues have not been known by the history yet. The space-time continuum, which we perceive to a certain degree, conflicts with the ontology of the digital world, not excluding in this case our ideas about the matter and consciousness
