Opis

Active research of virtual communication has been conducted relatively recently - since the beginning of the 1990s, however, each year these studies are becoming more and more intensive. The growing interest of representatives of various humanities disciplines (philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, culturologists, linguists) to these problems is explained not so much by the unprecedented dynamics of the research object development as by the fundamental role played by communication in the modern world. Modern, telecommunication technologies and, first and foremost, the global computer network Internet, are one of the most important factors in the development of the world community, having a decisive impact on the social, political, economic and socio-cultural spheres. Therefore, the need for a comprehensive philosophical, socio-psychological and psychological comprehension of the processes of global computerization and informatization of modern society is obvious. This work is an attempt to synthesize theoretical knowledge accumulated by both domestic and foreign scientists working in the mainstream of interaction mediated by computer and text exchange systems.
