The modern transformation of Internet communications

Abstract

The article considers the evolution of Internet communications with the development of digital technologies. How new information and telecommunication technologies not only change the forms and methods of communication between people but also call into question the survival of "traditional" methods and forms of communication. The specificity of modern communication systems is reflected; the classification of Internet communication is given according to the composition of participants, the time of receipt of the message and the response to it, and according to the nature of the sign means and forms used. The article also provides definitions for various stages of the formation of the Internet and prospects for development from Web 1.0 to Web 3.0. And the socio-psychological problems that arise with the development of Internet communications are considered, as well as the opportunities and limitations created by Internet communications in the future. These problems and limitations play an essential role in the transformation of current Internet communications, which in the future will become utterly decentralized with the transition to virtual reality. The key difference between Web 3.0 Internet communication will not be the principle of human interaction with the Internet but vice versa - the principle that "the Internet communicates with a person". The possibilities and limitations of such a transformation make it possible to single out only the main socio-cultural parameters of Internet communications due to electronic technologies. But they also make it possible to see that we live in an era of the formation of new approaches to communication, education, protection of human health and safety, and the organization of all life activities. Without considering the risks and limitations created by Internet communications, it is impossible to use the personal and social development opportunities they generate effectively.
