Communicational Tools of Self-knowledge

Abstract

Contemporary Western culture is under the sign of interest in communication. Internet and mobile telephony place over the world, network-type structures, analogous to those in the Renaissance representation of the world. Internet ensures, through the very technical conditions of its use, the creation of a private space wherein the individual faces himself. The use of the mobile phone favors the replacement of the individual in the network of his personal relations and in his own history. Internet and mobile telephony support self-knowledge.
