Transformation of the concept of future society in sociology: from post-industrial society to digital medium
Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis of theoretical approaches in futurology, postmodernism and poststructuralism, which representatives were engaged in the development of an objective concept that will be capable of describing the society that has entered a new era of its development under the influence of computer technology. The analysis shows the reasons why the various terms founded by scientists have not been able to enter the scientific circulation at the level of universal usage. It also analyses the origins of the term "digitalisation" and the reasons for its consolidation in science and law system. In the author's opinion, the most stable of the concepts discussed in this article, apart from the idea of digitalisation, is the concept of "hyperreality" founded by Jean Baudrillard. The problems of solidifying this concept include its difficult accessibility to understanding at the level of daily life, as well as the possible unpreparedness of society for such a total phase transition.
