The basic difference between humanities and the natural sciences lies in the fact that humanities’ research subjects cannot be presented in mathematical formulas. In the digitization era, the division line is no longer so distinct, particularly in the light of this article’s research subject. The paper examines the proportions between direct interpersonal (face to face) communication and communication based on modern communication (online) technologies and the impact of the latter on people and families existing in the contemporary media space. Mathematics, despite its closed nature, sets new directions of thinking and guarantees certain logic. As a result, mathematics offers the verification possibility employing research, as is the case of sociology, for instance. A mathematical sine wave is the starting point and, at the same time, the basis for conclusions and answers in this paper to the research question, making it possible to look at a person in the media space of recent decades, in the COVID 19 era and thus allows to formulate future postulates.
