Abstract
Based on the results of a republican sociological study conducted by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in 2024, in which the author participated, the main social determinants of the distribution of digital technologies in the everyday practices of residents of Belarus were identified: 1) new opportunities that facilitate and speed up routine operations, as well as simplifying inclusion in educational processes; 2) high-tech and flexible forms of employment with significantly more comfortable working conditions; 3) effective means to help implement self-preservation behavior; 4) diverse and accessible forms of free communication; 5) convenient and fast ways to receive numerous services, including financial ones. The aforementioned supra-professional skills of social subjects, including retraining skills, adaptability, determination, independence, and the ability to assess risks, constitute a competency factor that provides the basic enabling conditions for the development of digital technologies
