In 2008, Koïchiro Matsuura, former UNESCO Director General then stated that the content of the ongoing revolution in education is the following: "We must make the revolution of Copernicus: no longer revolve around the knowledge society, and society revolves around knowledge." The objective of this article is to discuss one of the "fields", created this wonderful thesis. The computerization and the Internet, have given birth to a new ontology of educational cooperation, and establish a new educational order. It changes not only the algorithm of "acquisition" of knowledge, but also the semantic content of knowledge itself as a value, that is, changing the very culture of the acquisition and use of knowledge. Digital culture is the opposition of humanistic pedagogy, determining new values and meanings of the individual being. This is primarily done as a result of changing the educational environment and becomes the basis for the change in the nature of humanity. How does this happen? Where it leads? The authors attempt to answer these questions, using the methodology of "open education" D. Price. Discussion on problems led us to three very specific statements (as outputs). First, the exchange of knowledge, freedom, openness and trust - this value (by D. Pryce), who meet and digital culture and humanistic pedagogy as the two opposition in the process of modern socialization. Second: the universalism of these values can be considered as a humanitarian digital culture phenomenon, and "number" and "character" as an integral humanistic side. Hence, third, whether the person is autonomous as a "human form of self-determination" (SA Smirnov) digital integrator and humanistic culture conditions or integration vnepolozheny to it?
