Summary/Abstract: Civilization is at the pinnacle of a delightful global transformation, but infoxification1 unfortunately also causes errors in the system. At least three generations of Digital Natives have been born since the beginning of the Digital age. They differ in the threshold of anxiety about their existence, importance, and role in the new communication and information environment. The uncertainty in their own identity, originality of experience, and the meaning of self-conscious access to Knowledge among Digital Natives 3.0 catalyze some social anomalies and pose risks for the future. The Holographic perception replaces the generation of emotional memory, virtuality encourages mimicry, and remix culture erases the last traces of the authentic historicity of events, circumstances, and processes. The red line between intuitive mastery of digital technologies and the risk of dangerous control delusions is not clear either.
