It plays a crucial role in the continuous search and application of both industrial and social technologies. In the same time, it is a factor in the further progress of science, causing the transition of society to the stage of technogenic development.
Target setting. In the situation of the expansion of technogenic civilization the information world emerges and affirms in its context, an attribute of which is Homo virtualis - a virtual man. In connection with this, the task of clarifying the peculiarities and characteristics of its thinking and its influence on the further process and prospects of cognition and cognitive activity in the conditions of dynamics of the development of the substantive foundations of technogenic civilization is actualized.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Problems of thinking and its transformations in the conditions of technogenic civilization and the information world are being solved in the context of the theory of cognitive science. The works of V. Rozin, N. Ivanova, T. Vasilyeva, V. Ilyin, V. Kremen and others are devoted to the study of general principles of thinking and history of its formation. Productive thinking is being explored by M. Wertheimer, technical – R. Dodonov, V. Melnyk.

It becomes a condition for the formation of scientific thinking, which today stands in the mode of technical or technological thinking. The current stage of the scientific and technological revolution is related to the development of information and digital technologies, which are the factors in the formation of information thinking, segment and part of technological thinking. Information technology creates a new intellectual space, where so called information thinking is the main way of cognition and communication.
