The era at the beginning of the 21th century brings along significant
(socio)cultural changes. The digilect is the language use in digital
communication, the language variety of infocommunication technologies. This
paper aims to summarize the most important tendencies. The primary general
and language-sociological change of the internet-era is the exponential increase
in the amount of information. The paradox of the information society means that
the collective amount of information increases, meanwhile – due to the capacity
of the human brain and the growing of unstructured, immaterial information –
the relative knowledge of an individual decreases. The knowledge-based, web
2.0 society demands from its members flexibility, conscious metacognition, life-
long learning, new media competence, electronic literacy, a critical sense,
changes of text genres (micro-narratives), as well as new text production and
reception strategies. The paper deals with netologisms, too.
