Relevance. Multitasking gets defined socially and dominating with the development of information technologies. It becomes the system of requirements and possibilities for combining, switching and alternating activities of different forms and contents within one complex activity. As a consequence of the technological development of the information society and a result of worldview transformations within the framework of the paradigm of multiplicity of the postmodern culture, the phenomenon of multitasking as a complex form of the activity in the technologized society becomes one of relevant objects of research in psychology and other sciences of man. Purpose. The theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of multitasking as a reflection of a multifaceted nature and variability of the postmodern culture and a result of the entry of digital technologies of the information society into the daily life in the context of the concepts of multiplicity and complexity. Method. The logic and methodology of the study is based on the cultural-historical and activity-based and semantic paradigm. The theoretical and comparative analyses and the method of generalization are employed to achieve the defined goals. Results. The philosophical analysis of socio-cultural, worldview and technological factors that determine the nature of multitasking is carried out. It shows the role of certain philosophical constructs of the postmodern worldview, particular technologies of the information society in developing the basis for the emergence of the phenomenon of multitasking and also its technological embodiment — mediamultitasking. Conclusions. At present, multitasking is the practice imposed by the specific nature of the information-communication activity under the technologization and complexity of the modern realities. Regardless of the attitude to this phenomenon, multitasking is an objective fact of the culture of the information society and, as a result, is one of the prerequisites for an efficient activity under its conditions.

Moral Assessment

The article considers definitions of the contemporary technology and its social and moral assessment. In the information society, humanitarization of engineering and technical education in general becomes extremely important together with the social-humanitarian knowledge in the interdisciplinary assessment of the scientific-technological development. Technology Assessment (TA) is a new scientific discipline, a theory of assessing and forecasting the development of technology, and a practice of consulting. Based on the TA, algorithms are developed to identify negative effects of technology and to make scientifically sound decisions. An interdisciplinary dialogue on the social assessment of technology should focus not only on technocratic tasks but also on the social-humanitarian methodological and epistemological foundations of the TA. In recent years, this component of the social assessment of technology has influenced the Western-European academic discourse on Responsible Research and Innovation, which reflects the scientific understanding of the importance of ethical reflection of technical activity. Thus, there is an obvious need for the combination of the social-humanitarian expertise of innovative technological projects with technical, mathematical and applied methods in the information age. Contemporary radical changes determined by the scientific-technological revolution require new approaches, methods and forms of interaction between people and communities, while their global nature determines universal ethical principles of these relationships. The post-modern information development of Russia will be accompanied not only by implementation of information technologies in all spheres of life, but also by the social-moral assessment of technology, humanization and humanitarization of engineering, strengthening personal professionalism and creative abilities.

Major new trends of our era emerge from the spread of information society and the increasing role of innovation as source of competitive advantage, development, and wealth. Innovation, however, is a tricky issue. We do not dispose adequate theories for predicting innovation in different sectors of industry and services, though we have plenty of tools and methods which assist and facilitate innovation in product development, process reorganization, and quality improvement. We tend to compensate the lack of theory about radical innovation (none can tell what the next big thing will be in an industry sector) with environments of innovation enabling the use of tools, instruments, and methods: financial tools, institutional tools, communication and information tools, creativity tools, and others. The rise of the information society opened new possibilities in the creation of environments of innovation. Digital tools and virtual (digital) innovation environments may assist organizations in learning and practicing innovation. They offer new forms of government (digital this time), online or offline, for mastering the complex processes of technological development and innovation. These virtual environments are important for companies, research institutions, technology intermediary organizations, and the public administration involved in innovation and research and development (R&D) management as well.

To identify and characterize the role of transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary dialogue in modern information society. Theoretical basis of the study is presented by works on essence and development of post-classical information society. A separate block is represented by works on knowledge and science, which are changing in modern societies under the influence of informatization and globalization. Theoretical basis of the study is grounded on ideas about transdisciplinarity, transdisciplinary field of research as a field of dialogue between different sciences and paradigms. Scientific novelty. It is hypothesized that transdisciplinary dialogue is one of the basic principles of modern information society formation, in this double principle of dialogization is implemented - both plurization, dialogization of truth in science and philosophy is performed, and another process - science and transdisciplinary research contribute to the development of new information technologies, mediation and democratization of society, where information society acts as a main customer and consumer of transdisciplinary knowledge, adapting it to new needs of media culture and digitalization. The role of transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue in modern society is shown, as well as the understanding of this dialogue from the point of view of philosophy and the humanities. The need for democratization and harmonization of knowledge is proved, it is shown that with the spreading of interactive dialogue democratic institutions penetrate into information structures, thus providing an opportunity to talk about the plurality of truth and complementarity of different ways of cognition. It is revealed that transdisciplinarity is provided by special procedures of dialogue and scientific research, including reflection and transflection, fractality, «included» view, intersectoral expertise, including environmental parameters. Thanks to dialogue, knowledge is centered around man and civil society, a combination of anthropological, socio-philosophical, physical-mathematical and ecological-biological paradigms. It is stated that the development of transdisciplinary and scientific dialogue leads to overcoming the boundaries between humanitarian and natural approaches to reality, the universalization of science as a way of cognition.
