The impact of the development of information technology tools of communication on digital culture and Internet slang

Abstract

A digital culture is such a vast and complex concept that is often difficult to define. However, using just a definition does not answer the question: what are digital culture and Internet slang? To gain a deeper understanding of а digital culture, you need to understand what makes a digital culture as it is. It is becoming increasingly clear that this area can be successfully explored only through the joint efforts of humanitarian, social, cultural and technical scientists, and therefore the integration and structuring of existing disciplinary approaches and results are necessary. Our research does not consider digital culture in terms of professional subculture, understanding of modern information technologies, their functioning, and professional language. In our research, the digital culture is considered in the range of the Internet user’s personality. The topicality of the research is that digital culture and Internet slang are «interdisciplinary categories, with the help of which it is possible to analyze problems of cultural identity», mutual influence of culture and slang in the system of unified computer networks.
