Summary/Abstract: The Internet philosophy we envision is not merely an abstract characterization of the Internet as a self-contained entity since the Internet exists and exists as a component of a complex world populated by natural, social, and cultural entities, and this context is also a crucial part of its philosophical description. The “embeddedness” of the Internet in the world makes it easier to understand the consequences of its use. Since the nature of the Internet is not “naturally given” but has been and is being shaped by conscious choices, in pursuit of specific social and cultural aspirations, intentions, interests, and values, consideration of the social and cultural factors that determine the nature of the Internet and are involved inshaping it clearly helps to identify the social and cultural effects of Internet use. In this way, it seems useful to include some social and cultural context in the analysis of the nature of the Internet. In examining the likely social and cultural consequences of Internet use,it is worth drawing on two “cultural-historical” analogies, the “reformation of knowledge”, and the “formation of gratitude”. By drawing on them in our understanding of the impact of Internet use on the human world, we can conclude that it is possible and worthwhile to focus our research on the emergence and the process of the emergence of gratitude and its emerging characteristics. The world of the Internet user is fundamentally changing: the former world, built up from the natural and social spheres of existence in a familiar way, is being supplemented by a third human sphere of existence, which is built on top of the previous ones and is inextricably intertwined with them.
