The article investigates the means of expressing agreement/disagreement in Internet communication. Using the internet is an important way to communicate in our lives. In modern society, an important role is played by Internet culture, formed and developed in real-time. We have found that ideographic and pictographic means are directly related to the current problem of developing virtual discourse. The tendency to reduce the transmitted information at the lexical level prevails in the environment of Internet discourse, so communicators resort to the use of abbreviations. This allows you to transfer more information with less effort. Graphic tools play a special role in virtual communication to convey information and create an emotional background. Written communication loses some of the semantic means inherent in oral communication: intonation, facial expressions, gestures. As these components create an emotional background and an atmosphere of freedom ofcommunication, the virtual text becomes "dry" and unemotional. Currently, we can transmit information using not only text but also signs, emoticons, emoticons. When communicators think that their thoughts and emotions may be misunderstood, they use graphic and pictographic elements to concretize, clarify, or reinforce what is being said.

The Impact

The emergence and spread of Internet communication has led to changes in social relationships, abuse of the Internet and maladaptive behavior. Among the authors who have studied the impact of these changes there is no consensus, and the results of their research are often contradictory. Some authors conclude that Internet communication strengthens networks of its users, while others believe that such communication leads to reduced participation in real social life. In a number of people, excessive use of the Internet adversely affects the mental health and social life and can lead to obsession at the expense of other aspects of life and creating addiction. The greatest risk of negative impacts of online communication is among children and young people. This paper is meant to indicate, the good sides as well as the negative consequences of excessive and non-functional Internet use

The article is devoted to the analysis of the processes taking place in our modern society. Opinion of a number of investigators about the role played by information in the society is that information is the essence of our modern society. It is from this point of view that revolutionary changes passed by mankind during all history of the development are presented. The concept of understanding the modern society as information one is thought of critically. The hypotesis about communication society as a form of joint activity of people is put forward. Information is perceived as a means to accelerate society progress rather than the society itself. The question “how often revolutionary processes in society happen” is considered from the standpoint of communication science. It is argued that the fifth communicative revolution which gave rise to communication society is taking place now. Stages of progress of this society are closely connected with the Internet-communication processes. The reasons for people’s turning to the Internet and both positive and negative consequences of this phenomenon are studied.

Information technology (IT) has permeated many fields and aspects of modern society such as education, business, health and entertainment. It provides users with innovative and powerful products which were unimagined decades ago. The Internet is one of the most powerful IT developments. The introduction of the Internet has brought in new areas such as e-commerce, e-health and e-learning. Thus the instrumental role of IT is unquestionable in this digital age. However, from a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) perspective, IT is socially situated and its role and impacts cannot be divorced from its socio-cultural context. CDA is an interdisciplinary approach which studies linguistic and social issues in relation to social discourse with a main aim to examine how social power permeates and controls discourses and consequently creates social inequality and injustice. As IT is closely linked to its social discourse, its use and value are embedded in social structures and processes which are organized through institutions and practices such as political systems, business, education and the media, each of which is located in and structured by a particular discussive field. There are different social groups with competing discourses and they can exert power to use IT to their advantage. The challenge to IT experts, educators and IT users is not about the instrumental power that IT has brought to them. The real challenge is how to use it wisely to enhance humanity.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the history of blogs and determine the dynamics of their development. The methodology involves the use of historical, bibliographic, and analytical methods. The scientific novelty of the work is that it is the first attempt to describe the history of blogs from their appearance to the present day. With the rapid development of Internet communications in modern society, new forms of virtual communication have appeared, which are of interest to representatives of different segments of the population, professions, preferences, ages. Blogging allows people to express themselves, to present themselves to the world, to find like-minded people. In addition, such online communication is an opportunity to relax, work and develop. This led to the emergence of a new profession – a blogger. Due to the ability to communicate freely in time and space, the blogosphere has become a presentation platform for many political, religious, social, and cultural formations. Most companies now have at least one blogger who creates relevant content. Since evolution, blogs have come a long way, change, and improvement. Initially, the first Internet posts appeared. Later, this phenomenon was called a blog, which led to the emergence of derivative concepts, such as blogger, blogging, blogosphere, video blog, etc. Gradually, special platforms were created for blogs, where contributors discussed political, military, social, cultural, and other issues. In the early twentieth century, bloggers became a source of information for the media, causing social resonance. Some sites have combined blogging platforms and social networks and began to contain video, photo, and audio content. The coronavirus pandemic in the world has given a powerful impetus to the development of Internet communication, and the blogosphere is now experiencing considerable prosperity. Conclusions. The blog has come a long way from 1994 to the present. Every year, it gains momentum in its development, generates new online contributors, and gains a new audience. Blogs perform a number of important functions: cognitive, educational, presentation, relaxation, etc., which determine their significant popularity and, consequently, further development. Therefore, the question of the state of blogs and their history will always be relevant.

The article deals with the problem of the reverse influence of the Internet and chat communication on the spoken language based on the "Language of scum" in the Russian-speaking Internet. Today, this problem is relevant, since the development of the Internet has contributed to the widespread use of slang among the younger generation. The Internet today is a source of information. But the speed and availability of communication between users made it possible to use the Internet not only as a cognitive tool, but also as a means of communication and entertainment. And virtual communication, which arose due to the rapid development of the network, gave rise to a special language - the language of virtual communication. The numerous chats, open forums and personal pages created on the network are the main ways of communication among young people. Over the years, a special language has developed in the programs - slang, the so-called language of Internet communication, in which users communicate with each other. And every day he actively penetrates into our daily life. This study is a kind of appeal not only for adolescents, but also for the adult population. I would like people to think about the fact that we need to protect our language and not succumb to the influence of slang when communicating on social networks. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the results of this study will be useful to students in order to preserve their native language.

The paper aims to explore the Internet nickname as a main anthroponymic unit of Internet communication, an integral part of a virtual personality, and an outcome of complex psycholinguistic processes of self-naming. An overview of key studies of this phenomenon leads the author to conclude that it still lacks proper theoretical grounding, which is largely due to its specific properties that impede research. The article focuses on the issues that arise at the stage of material selection. The main points for discussion were suggested both by the analysis of existing research on the topic, as well as empirical data collected during almost ten years of anthroponymic studies of German-language virtual communication. The first issue relates to the necessity of using external sources (users’ personal data, their social media imprint) for reliable analysis and interpretation of nicknames. Thereby, the paper argues the relevance of content and discourse analysis for studying virtual personality, as well as interviewing the users to obtain a comprehensive research file. Since random sampling remains the key method for selecting factual material, the question persists about the sufficient amount of the data. The article highlights the solutions proposed by different researchers and gives sociolinguistic groundings to the minimal number of data that ensures a representative sample of aliases. Finally, the question of the choice of sources is raised. The author concludes that an unconditional trend in anthroponymic research of nicknames is the study of units within one specific Internet service.

The article presents the results of a monitoring study of social activity on the Internet. Monitoring of the development and use of the Internet in modern society shows an active growth in the number of users of the World Wide Web. The total number of Internet users is growing dynamically together with the intensity of network use. The high intensity of Internet use, as well as the predominantly "home" use of the network, allows us to increase overall online activity, to improve the quality and versatility of such activity. There are significant qualitative changes in the use of the Internet. Network users demonstrate an active and diverse response to any social processes that occur in society and in the world. They actively use the Internet to obtain diverse social information. Online activity related to the use of the network to express their thoughts and suggestions on various social issues is also recorded. The Internet is also used to contact with government and public structures; to support specific social events that are initiated by users on the Internet, etc.Thus, it can be stated that the online activity of users covers a rather extensive content-targeted field of citizens' social activity. Nowadays, online activity acquires stability, repeatability, mass character inherent in social practices. As a result of the study, factor analysis allowed to identify the following components of online activity: cognitive-informational, emotional-communicative and effective-behavioral, reflecting the features of the meaningful and targeted structuring of social activity on the Internet. The study demonstrated the stability, repeatability, mass character, and the stable nature of the functioning of the selected components (factors) throughout the study period. It also witnessed the presence of leading online activities mediated by the space-time continuum.
