Results. The study has revealed that in modern society, information occupies a central place and its role, as well as of the means of its processing, transmission, and accumulation, has increased immeasurably. Today, the means of computer and information technology largely determine the scientific-technical potential of the country, the level of development of its national economy, lifestyle and human activities.
Conclusion. Methods of communication of modern people are increasingly different from those that were previously used. Today, every second person is a user of the world wide web – the Internet.

However, communication on the Internet is impossible without the formation and development of the identities of the individuals participating in it.
