The article is devoted to the analysis of the informatization process of all forms of educational activity and evaluation of its possible consequences. The authors consider the positive and negative aspects of the widespread introduction of computer technologies in the educational process. It is noted that computer technologies can significantly improve the productivity of self-training of students, ensure the development of their personality, stimulate research activities and generally increase the level of independence in the learning process. However, in the ethical plan, the possible dehumanization of the educational process, the departure from it of the spiritual personal component, may become the most dangerous consequence of the mass transition of the educational process to computer training schemes.
