Abstract

The article deals with the revealing of the negative side of the key processes (such as informatization and globalization) in contemporary society, leading to its problematization. The article is based on the structural and functional, socio-cultural, cultural and historical, and comparative approaches.

Information and communication technologies themselves are becoming the means for the emergence of the new netocratic cyber-elite.
