Abstract: The article discusses the changes in science in the digital age. The digital revolution transforms the creation, storage and transfer of knowledge which changes the paths scientists traverse to reach the goals of science. Scientists are able to access almost all important resources of literature with an Internet terminal. It is considered that the existence of high-tech lab equipment makes it easier to get more information, but, it does not necessarily improve science.
