The digital age: facets of a new socio-cultural experience

At the beginning of the third millennium, the subject field of various areas of socio-humanitarian knowledge included the concepts of “digital culture”, “digital reality”, “digital world”, presenting as an actual lexical context in which modern society exists. In the process of comprehension, the analyzed categories that the digital age generates are filled with new attributive characteristics. Systematization of current scientific approaches allowed the author to conclude that the concept of “digital culture” does not exist as a strictly defined category, but as a metaphor covering a new stage of development of technogenic society, the understanding of which is impossible outside the historical context of technogenic communications development. The originality and novelty of the article is determined by the problematization of new facets in the structure of social experience, generated by the process of digitalization and forming a complex social conglomerate of innovative and traditional socio-cultural phenomena.
