Obsah přednášky:
The talk presents a novel approach for studies of a Digital Society. According to this approach, the Digital Society consists of a real conventional component and a virtual component being the global virtual information space, which comprises, inter alia, the interacting personal human infospheres. Both the virtual information space and the infospheres are defined and discussed in the talk.
The Digital Society can be characterized by a number of processes. Among them: 1) blurring of the distinction between reality and virtuality, 2) blurring of the distinctions between human, machine and nature, 3) reversal from information scarcity to information abundance, 4) shift from the primacy of entities to the primacy of interactions.
Development of the virtual information space can be considered an evolutional process, similar to the history of mankind. It is shown in the talk that the present stage of its development may be called the eve of the Digital Enlightenment era. According to Immanuel Kant, the fundamental paradigm of the 18-th century Enlightenment was "freedom of reasoning” of entities. In the Digital Society, the “freedom of reasoning” takes a new meaning and becomes the reasoning of so-called “networked” or “interacting” entities. It is shown that the new reasoning of the networked entities is strongly connected with such new phenomena of the Digital Society as: on-line personality, big data and social media.
