The development of human-dimension systems (e.g. «human–technique»systems) is supposed to play the most important role in the further evolution of society in the context of informatization. However, the risk-generating potential of these systems significantly exceeds the risks of socio-technical systems characteristic of industrial society due to the exponentially rapid development of so-called «dangerous knowledge». On the one hand, information technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for human creativity. On the other hand, a significant majority of people still use them as passive consumers. They are ready to automate not only some aspects of professional activity but also interpersonal interactions, i.e. a conscious component of social relations. This means that we are losing consciousness of individual life and social processes. We are less and less willing to make reflexive efforts. This leads to a «virtual objectification» of person, a loss of identity, reduces person to the state of an element of the network mechanism, unwilling and unable to deeply understand and comprehend social relations. «Artificial virtuality» displaces the «natural virtuality» of individual and social consciousness. Since in the current sociocultural context, information technology can destroy a person’s capacity for such understanding and comprehension, we consider knowledge associated with information technology to be potentially «dangerous». We see a response to this challenge in the following. Firstly, it is necessary to develop a scientific concept of consciousness as essentially autonomous and not reducible to its material foundations. Secondly, education should be developed in the direction of «Writing and Thinking» technology, which forms the competence of reflective, critical and systematic thinking.
Keywords: informatization, consciousness, «dangerous knowledge», «virtual objectification».
