It highlights two important aspects: the criteria for assessing the state of modern society which allow us to talk about the formation of the information society, and the problem of information management. Th e author draws attention to the contradictions of the spread of information technologies in all spheres of human activity, including education and training. Th e characteristics of the modern “educated” person are determined.
