Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to show the influence of digital transformation on the human condition. Based on desk research, the author addresses the issue of the relationship between new technologies and human existence in the context of relationality. Referring to the assumptions of symbolic interactionism, the author points out that relationships between people are constitutive value in human life. Digital transformation, whose overarching goal is the optimization of economic and social processes, introduces a number of changes in the models of interpersonal relations. These changes have a different effect, which the author presents by presenting various positions. There is also a foundation of humanity on the accounts, which Pierpaolo Donati describes as a transcendental matrix that cannot be replaced by technological solutions in any way. This conclusion implies a final reflection on the need to maintain a certain moderation in the field of technological transformations caused by digital transformation.
