The specificity of human activity involves the information and communication interaction, search, evaluation, receiving, transferring, processing, preserving and multiplying the information, manifested in public activities, politics, business, science, culture, education and various social practices. These new forms of receiving, transmitting, storing, processing and using information can be characterized as network thinking, which has completely new qualities. This new quality is the specific character of a new type of person, who is usually called Homo informaticus.
