Openness as a key characteristic of Internet culture

Abstract

The culture of the modern information society acquires new features and characteristics, determined by the phenomenon of systemic digitisation and the spread of network forms of communication. The Internet, being a part of the economy and a reality of everyday human life, forms a new type of capitalism and interaction between people and communities, its own ethos and aesthetics, producing an original type of culture that is different from the second wave in the development of civilisation. A significant feature of Internet culture is its openness, which is revealed in the nonlinearity and multidimensionality of the structure of the global communicative space.
