The Basictrends of Virtualizationof the Social in the Information Age
In this article the phenomenon of virtualization of the social reality is considered. There are many definitions of virtualization in the scientific literature.Some authors define virtualization as a replacement of reality by the images; others prefer to consider virtualization as a process of creating an alternative social space. Recently, virtualization is increasingly defined as a combination of virtuality and reality. In fact, the significant transformation of the fundamentals of social life is a distinctive feature ofvirtualization of the sociality in the information period.
