Specifics of the information society
Human information activity is understood as a type of activity that is associated with the receipt, transformation, accumulation and transmission of data. The information society is the stage at which human civilization now finds itself and where knowledge and information data have become the main goods produced.
The main features of the information society are:
- In the information society, the work of each person and team has an increasing dependence on the possession of the necessary information and the ability to use information data so that they are useful. The main driving force of the information society is the reproduction of information, not material goods.
- Within the information society, all aspirations are aimed not at the consumption and reproduction of commodity objects, which is typical for an industrial society, but at the development of intellectual abilities and knowledge, which are a means and a production product. The share of mental labor is increasing sharply.
- The material and technical base of the information society is computer equipment and various networks, information technologies, and this base is very well developed.
