Information Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life

The paper deals with the basic features of the life-space created by the contemporary information industry, and with the dominant attitudes towards the opportunities and limitations information technology offers and imposes. We consider the problem of information glut, the quality of public discourse, the question of privacy, and technological alienation. Concerning the basic attitudes, we discuss the aesthetic, the moral, and the religious views, considered in the context of the present life-space pervaded and shaped by information technology. The paper concludes with a discussion of the possible consequences of global homogenisation and of the cultural ahistoricity which are being created by the massive use of information technology. Among the positive aspects of this new ‘global culture of the present’ we point out the possible increase of global human solidarity; among the negative ones, we point out the flattening and shrinking of the space of human experience, which this uniform culture of the present imposes.
