Людина як текст: як виглядає світ без слів

Abstract

The relevance of this paper is to consider the phenomenon of the influence of communicative and linguistic features on human thinking and perception. In this research we investigate the problem of reducing the importance of text and verbal communication in modern society. The influence of the spread of blip culture and communication through social networks is analyzed. Cognitive skills that develop in communication using computers and smartphones require brevity and accuracy – text ceases to be a value, because on the contrary – the less text we need to transmit information, or to еxpress our feelings became the better. Laconic as the main value makes it impossible for a long consistent consideration of complex philosophical issues-therefore, in the top of the discussion there are small "hype" problems-bright and topical. We can predictad the return of "elite fashion" to long literary descriptions, which will lead to segregation between "elite" sources of information and mass ones. Sites-popularizers will also become fashionable, which allow to reduce the gap between those who can read long texts, and those who do not have developed cognitive skills to this. As examples we can recall such projects are "short blip-science" on the website Journal «Space» and «Forshmag».
