The authors analyse in the article the phenomenon of “bored person”, show that for the first time a person finds himself in a state when his being in the modern world changes dramatically, and this entails changes in a person’s self-identification. A brief historical and philosophical excursion is given to the change in the place and role of the man from the ancient picture of the world, where man is all outward, to the commoner in the Middle Ages, a crowd man in the 20th century to the appearance of a “bored man” in the 21th century. “Bored person” is defined through the identification of such basic characteristics as the loss of inner meanings and values, the inability to go beyond the crowd, to be different. The constant state of immersion in the media space changes not only the nature of a person’s communication with other people, but also with himself.
