Abstract: This study aims to deal with the philosophical problematic that is based on the destiny of our national identity in the framework of the digital revolution and the new media. Where lots of certainties are shaken and transformed the human and social relationships into liquid. The escalating forces of globalization, while fostering interconnectedness and integration, paradoxically generate fragmentation and the erosion of traditional boundaries. This contradictory process blurs the lines between territorial borders and unified national identities, leaving us grappling with the question of a cohesive "center" in an increasingly fluid and diversified world. Therefore, this is what we have been presented with an open, flowing and virtual reality. where it gradually transforms to become an actual reality, and transcands the individual privacy towards a universal identity. Hence, we conclude with the teransformation of the traditional economy to an information economy. As well as our ideas and values have become strange of ourselves. At last, that's what threatened our national and cultural identity. Keywords: digital; revolution; new media; identity; society; information.
