In her report, the author stressed that the communicative activity of man in the XXI century. moves to a new stage: online forms, webinars, etc. Digital technologies not only transform the communicative and social systems, but also significantly reduce the intellectual needs of the individual, lead to the formation of the so-called “clip” perception and thinking. The latter largely determines the inability of modern man to a holistic deep understanding of the text, full communication, replacing them with many vivid visual images.According to the speaker, although communications in the modern world are carried out in all spheres of public consciousness (science, art, religion, politics, law, etc.), but the phenomenon of speech culture, they are only partial: as far as their content is the ability to own acquired knowledge. That is why it is important to “pass” through your mind a huge flow of digitized information in such a way as to promote the formation of “I” and prove the uniqueness of each individual.
