Evolution of essential characteristics of a person influenced by digital transformations

Abstract

The article examines the process of adaptation of a modern person to rapid transformations of the surrounding world associated with the digitalization of the economy, the intellectualization of labor activity, and changes in the paradigm of the education system. The key features of a person of the future, i.e. an intellectual with high professional qualities and creative abilities, have been revealed. The intellectualization of labor activity requires spiritual maturity and high social responsibility from a person. It has been emphasized that an increase in the intellectual component of labor, introduction of high technology, high professionalism serve as the basis for a new motivational system of a person, displacing the system of material incentives: labor and human improvement - become categories of the same order. The intellectual abilities and the received high-quality education determine both the level of income and social status. The new model of “lifelong education”, which is based on the principle of lifelong learning, is a source of human activity and readiness to go beyond their capabilities, and constant self-improvement turns into a way of being. The social destiny of a man of the future remains the preservation of culture and the provision of sustainable development of civilization.
