Today, the digitalization of education is a rapid and inevitable process. А powerful catalyst for it was the pandemic. The article raises the question of developing a common "ideology" of digitalization, which should orient this process in such a way that education does not lose its dialogic and interpersonal feature. In other words, the process of socialization today is possible only if the digital environment should not be an obstacle, but a meaningful choice for dialogue between a teacher and a student.

There are high expectations for the digitalization of education in Russia today. Moreover, in 2019, Internet Development Institute sent the Ministry of education of the Russian Federation a list of games, as well as general recommendations that can form the basis of the program of eSports electives in Russian schools. We would like to emphasize the serious risks of introducing computer games into the education process.

Key words: digitalization of education, eSports electives, computer games, digital dementia.

The article deals with a little-studied aspect of the relationship between Medieval and Renaissanceworldviews, which coexisted in the XIV‑XVI centuries in the Christian West. Medieval consciousness was based on the idea of the "senility of the world" and its near death, the moral, intellectual and physical degradation of mankind. Such idea was contrary to anthropology and historical optimism of humanists.
