Abstract

Cyberspace knows no boundaries, so being in this world requires specific skills. It's like being at sea, which is the symbol of infinity, and mastering the element is the art of skillful sailing. How to survive unscathed without taking ground? How to get ahead in skillfully taking advantage of the virtual world, and among the successful ones, do not go into the burnout and the destruction of digital dementia? The parallel reasoning linking sailing storms to digital flood carries the message that both phenomena are synthesis of wonderful emotions but appear to be a handy metaphor to prove their worth, temptation and horror. This stigmatism tempts and forces one to come to the conclusions for the good of scientific reflection, as the best way to recommend them for the everyday educational practice. Otherwise, the conclusions concerning the connection between the elements will only be a hermeneutical talk of an epigone, calling for mimetic adaptation and the spread of hazy visions with non-creative use of ready-made patterns of ideas hiding behind the horizon.
