Contemporary Information Society as Methodology Object: the Dialectics of Technologies and New Social Model

Abstract

Contemporary informational society serves as a socio-technological interface be­tween the global informational environment and human society. And that inter­face is constructed through the technologies of digital network-structured com­munications. The informational society serves as one of the few cornerstones of the globalization that would hardly be dismantled even in the radical crisis scenarios of global transformations will be enabled. Despite that the information society will be the object for increasing influence from the evolving environment of political, economic and socio-cultural nature. And at some point, that influ­ence could alter the substance and structure of the informational society. The im­portance of correct understanding of the modern information society as an obvi­ously incomplete object, capable at certain stages of its development of non-synergic changes without losing its socio-technological functions, is significantly increasing. That specific feature of the informational society is emphasized dur­ing the periods of the mosaicization and fragmentation of the social environ­ment of the social environment. The destruction of the monopoly of the model of the social development that became a universal one during the period of the late globalization creates the space for the manifestation of the feature of the infor­mational society.
