There is no doubt that the digital world we are entering is not only a new logical stage in the development of the technological sphere of humanity, but also of all existing legal and socio-political realities. While common and harmonized definitions and legal definitions do not yet exist, digital technologies are already rapidly gaining ground for offensives. Digitalization is becoming a major factor in the economic growth of any country's economy. Digitization is a modern trend for the development and consistent improvement of all business processes in the economy and related social spheres, based on increasing the speed of mutual exchange, accessibility and security of information. The experts highlight eight key points of the digital economy: the state and society, marketing and advertising, finance and commerce, infrastructure and communications, media and entertainment, cybersecurity, education and human resources, startups and investments. Therefore, in determining the main goals of the digital economy can be identified: smart cities, autonomous transport, protection against cyberattacks, responsible attitude to personal data, elimination of digital inequality, telemedicine, smart agriculture, mechanisms of trust in the Internet.
The implementation of any new technologies, the process, of course, is long and carries many unknown yet challenges and dangers to humanity, they are usually combined into three different groups: socio-economic, techno-organizational, natural. All this is quite fully understood in the twentieth century, introducing scientific and technological achievements in the real economy through the development of regulatory and legal factors (labor laws, environmental legislation, rules, norms, standards, practice of state and public control over their observance). The development of mass (conveyor) production of its time in general stimulated a deep study of social and legal issues of the real economy - adequate pay, a system of benefits and compensation, moral and material incentives for harmful working conditions and more. Borrowing the experience of G. Ford, we began to study the socio-psychic factors that characterize a person's attitude to work, psychological climate in the team, family, motives for work; socio-political factors for creating favorable working conditions, for invention and innovation.
We have remembered that in the absence of legal rules and laws, there is always a likelihood of danger, which has become an axiom of danger, that in nature there are no phenomena absolutely safe for human life, factors - everything is dangerous and requires the formation of certain working conditions. We have also remembered that there are many examples where a lack of knowledge and a lack of methodologically based science and education justification for the practical implementation of knowledge and technology into the real economy leads to serious engineering, humanitarian and educational problems and even catastrophes. And at the same time, entering the electronic era, we are extremely light-hearted in the legal issues of defining the fundamental concepts of "information", "information resource", "information security" and more.
