Život onlife. Lekce z informační vědy

Life onlife. Lesson in information science

Michal Černý

In the fifth volume of the popular science “Munice” series we reflect on the hybrid nature of the social and work environment in which most of us normally live. The boundaries between online and offline are blurring, both worlds merge into one. How will the ongoing technological revolution affect our education, professional success or value orientation? According to information science, the core of the answer lies in the way we obtain, evaluate and use information.

Michal Černý is an information scientist, philosopher, pedagogue and educator, an innovator in the field of technology in education. Although he belongs to the youngest generation of scientists, he has already written more than twenty books and hundreds of peer-reviewed articles. At the Department of Information and Library Studies (KISK), Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, he conducts, among other things, popular courses in the development of digital competencies and creative work with information.
