Abstract
What risks does a person face when immersed in digital communication? Along with the enormous opportunities: online learning, accessibility of information resources, exchange of creative ideas, and communication based on interests, - opening up for any inhabitant of the earth, a person is not protected from the risks of digital reality at the biological, psychological and social levels. The most dangerous are dependencies on a person's immersion in computer and game communication, illusions of superpower, loss of ethnocultural and religious identity as the basis of self-awareness, violation of the boundaries of private and public space, the attractiveness of negative and false information, marginal forms of behavior, and insecurity of personal data. There is also a dominance of visual forms of information presentation without analyzing the significance of this information in a person's life. As a result, a person falls into the trap of permissiveness, which manifests itself in a craving for forbidden, secret knowledge, secret materials and sacred and infernal artifacts.
