Abstract
The essence and features of network systems and processes of “networkizationˮ in Belarus are conceptualized. The intensity and scale of information development and communication technologies (INTI) are characterized. It is shown that the most important trend of influence in a networked society is the transformation of a person’s consciousness and activity towards the creativity of the individual and social groups. The essence, methods and significance of the information use flows and instantaneous time are formulated. Six basic parameters for the creation of the IT-country in Belarus are presented. It is substantiated that the successful development of the IT-society provides a decent level of well-being and a high quality of life for the Belarusian people.
