THE SPECIFICITY OF INFORMATION WORLDVIEW
Worldviews are the basis to everybody‘s existence, the way we think, the way we act. The study of worldviews is of critical importance, especially in conditions of information society. It refers to a philosophical understanding of epistemology (the basis on all knowledge and how we attain it) in reference to a wide world perception. In addition, it refers to a framework of ideas and beliefs through which an individual interprets the world and interacts in it. Whether we can articulate it or not, we all have a worldview, for without one we could not navigate life. A worldview is how we process all the data we come across in casual thought. This worldview is the paradigm which we use in life. We do not create a world or environment from scratch and then personalize it. Rather, we step into a world and culture that already exists, and we learn to interact with it. Worldviews are comprised from ideas about the nature of reality. One kind of reality in today's society recognized the reality of information. Reconstructing Worldview is an ongoing process, because in lifetime, the second half of the 20th century, there have been deep changes in our basic assumptions and presuppositions. It is no secret that we are in the midst of an information-processing revolution based on electronic computers and optical communication systems. This revolution has transformed work, education, and thought, and has affected the life of every person on earth. As a result of extensive dissemination of information, knowledge, information technology has completely transformed how society and worldview of individual.
