The article deals with the information society, the main distinguishing criterion of which is the decisive role of information technology in all spheres of human life. In the information society, the economy, labor and employment, culture, politics, state institutions, the institution of education, and families are being transformed. Most of the processes taking place in society are characterized by two complementary and opposite tendencies at the same time: globalization and fragmentation. The authors tried to analyze how these trends manifest themselves in various areas of social life: economy, culture, education, and politics. And they came to a conclusion. With integration into a single world information space, all institutions in society are revising and improving methods of interaction, service, and support of the population through mechanisms for the remote provision of public services based on modern information and communication technologies in building a single integrated information environment.
