In the article,there are considered the social aspects of the computerization process of the Russian educational space inmodern conditions. The author substantiates the thesis that computerization, which is often understood as saturation of the educational establishments by electronic devices of various degrees of complexity, does not lead all by itself to improvement of the education quality. The social component of this process is very important. The development and application of information-communication technologies in the educational process, considered in the article as a direct consequence of computerization, introduce into the educational process a number of not only technical, but also social aspects. Among them there are the changes of the character of educational interaction and also the changes taking place to the subjects of educational process. The necessity of changes in the educational policy,realized by the state in the sphere of education, also influences the functions of the civil society.
