The above article is concerned with some new technologies in social communication which have an impact on the creation and activity of organisations and communities. Starting with global communication, the author concentrates on the issue of building of an information society using the resources of the Internet and the possibilities it offers. Discussing the communities, reference is made to the congregation in the Catholic church, an organisation with a two-thousand-year experience in creating communities. The author underlines the attention which the Pope paid to the mass media. Then, the issue of identity on the Internet is discussed, as well as some possible dangers connected with the activity on the Internet. However, the conclusion is positive and it stresses out the advantages associated with the new media and informatisation in the creation of communities and broadly understood interpersonal relations.
