摘要：The influence of new information technologies, especially wireless (laptop, mobile phones), can indisputably be felt in modern, highly urbanized world. With the increasing mobility of population, especially in urban areas, the notions of space, localization and time take on new meanings. Nobody is „somewhere“ if he or she is not physically seen „there“! So, even though we live in an increasingly deterritorialized world, we are going back to some older concepts when time and space overlapped, that is when somebody was „somewhere“ only if he or she could be registered and seen „there“. Today’s concepts of time and space compression, new thinking about places and spaces (flow of spaces – Castells), as well as new notions of cosmopolitism and globalization, localism and localization, are calling upon social scientists to try and provide contemporary explanations. In a way, contemporary inhabitant of the urbanized world, especially under the influence of modern communication technology, is increasingly „globalized“, but at the same time he or she is selecting and bringing into their home those parts of the global world that they prefer (home cinema, for example). Most important sociological aspects will be elaborated in this paper.
