This article deals with the problem of digitalization of cultural mechanisms of knowledge translation. The study clarifies the terms digitization and digitalization, considers their comparison, as well as differences from digital technologies. In addition, the positive and negative consequences of these processes on society as a whole are considered. Since a modern person prefers to receive information in a finished form, therefore, digitalization is of great importance. The history of the emergence of digitalization as a separate process is also considered. Now most areas of our lives increase technological involvement, that has led to a large-scale convergence of various areas and processes. The article examines the influence of convergence on the processes of social and political integration at the level of interaction between groups, associations of individuals in the implementation of civil initiatives, as well as at the level of states and peoples. Digitalization processes have significantly changed the world and human interaction.
