Summary/Abstract: We provide a detailed description of the first stage of cognitive processes which is an integral part of the Theory of social communication published earlier by one of the contributing authors. We address the evolutionary changes and computational limitations of the human mind, especially in the first stage of cognitive processes– perception, and through comparison with artificial intelligence concepts and technologies we further theorize about possible implications for information literacy projects of the general population. We argue that technologies will, in the future, substitute significant part of human cognitive processes – perception,computation and representation through algorithmic reasoning and thus provide necessary support for insufficient individual cognitive capacities.
