Everything about Informational Society totally explained
In
sociology,
informational society refers to a
post-modern type of society. Theoreticians like
Ulrich Beck,
Anthony Giddens and
Manuel Castells argue that since the
1970s a transformation from
industrial society to informational society has happened on a global scale.
As
steam power was the technology standing behind industrial society, so
information technology is seen as the catalyst for the changes in work organisation, societal structure and politics occurring in the late
20th century.
In the book
Future Shock,
Alvin Toffler used the phrase
super-industrial society to describe this type of society. Other writers and thinkers have used terms like "
post-industrial society" and "
post-modern industrial society" with a similar meaning.
