ИСТИНА

The modern era is characterized in different ways. But for the most part, it is correlated with the information explosion and digital technologies, as well as with threats from military conflicts, technological disasters, international terrorism, the rapid growth of the Earth’s population and the increase in anthropogenic impact on the environment. All this, both at the level of mass consciousness and in the scientific community, is associated, on the one hand, with the information and technological revolution and the rapid digitalization of various spheres of public life, and, on the other hand, with the increasing momentum of globalization. This raises a number of fundamental questions: – What is digitalization, and how does it change our lives? – How to understand globalization and its impact on society? – Are globalization and digitalization connected, and if so, how? – Finally, how to relate to all this, and what awaits us in the future?
