Our society faces new challenges nowadays. The widespread usage of mobile communications and its availability attracts more and more users to the worldwide network. The current generation is unable to see themselves without the gadgets connected to the internet. The world is becoming more and more digital and dependent on information and communication technology (ICT). On the one hand, it gives the opportunity to communicate and removes all borders between cities and even the continents. On the other hand, youth over-dependence on technology could lead to impaired consciousness, the change in mental processes, the problems of the Googlization of our society. The formation of young people’s social capital in the modern society is influenced by information and communication technology and new communication possibilities. The transformation of communication processes was caused not only by common availability of communication means, constantly growing network coverage areas, but also by the appearance of social networks as the main means of communication among youngsters. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and self-isolation the communication between young people has become even more dependent on ICT. The means and ways of the formation of human and social capital have also changed.
