Abstract

The Internet is one of the most important civilizational and cultural achievements in recent years. Currently, it is one of the most frequently used providers of information, communication and educational. On the one hand, the Internet facilitates access to rich information resources that are useful in the educational process; on the other hand, it provides useless, untrue and often harmful information. In the human – technology relationship, the most important thing is to bear in mind that while using increasingly fine tools and products of one's own thought, human beings should not act contrary to their own interests and should not destroy the axiological environment sanctified by the tradition encompassing a few thousand years. However, while civilisation, understood as the state of development of society, is subject to continuous progress, we can observe a deep crisis in the field of culture and humanism at the beginning of the new century and the new millennium. Today, the problem of the relationship between the borderless Internet world growing at a very rapid pace and the almost unchanging limited world of values is a fascinating issue and an important question prompted to be answered by not only a scientist, but also a contemporary reflective human using the services of the global network. At the same time, this is the question about the relationship between the world of technology developing at a very rapid pace and the human being, subject to evolutional i.e. very slow change. The meeting of these two worlds that differ so much always involves some kind of collision and brings about new social dilemmas and new axiological challenges.
