Abstract

What worked before, as immutable, today flows in the constant search for learning, manifesting knowledge and creating knowledge, through memory that can be stored in several databases, through imagination, through perception that allows a different access to information and new ways of thinking. In the era of virtualization, it is wrong to think that we are living in the unreal. Virtual spaces today are a kind of extension of people themselves, who have begun to establish their relationships within cyberspace. This tends to potentiate a social connection that is not only translated into the representation of traditional media, but presents itself as a way to open other public spaces of discussion, from being together virtually, helping in the constitution of social bonds and strengthening human relations in today’s society. So many changes imply debates about the development of the social subject mediated by the digital, and the role of education. This qualitative and literature review text aims to promote a reflection on cyberculture, social subjects, and the rethinking of the education process.
