. INTRODUCTION
The entry of modern society 
into the new information age was marked 
by 
the 
emergence 
of 
scientific 
developments in various fields of social 
and humanitarian knowledge on the 
issue of impact of information and 
communication technologies (ICT) on 
the process of socialization of an 
individual. The number of these 
scientific developments is constantly 
increasing with the growth of impact of 
ICTs on the consciousness, behavior and 
health of modern people, “recorded 
changes in the functioning of society and 
the 
virtualization

Modern youth live, go through 
the processes of socialization and
