We now use more information in our day-to-day life than before. The volume of information available through radio, television, internet, books, newspapers, and magazines has enlarged manifold, both in developed and developing countries. Increased flows of information between parties, individuals as well as organizations, have made interactions information-intensive. The unprecedented advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) have transformed societies in both developed and developing countries in ways that were unimaginable not so long ago. The way we conduct our personal lives, the way we build and maintain interpersonal relationships, and the way we engage in production and distribution activities have undergone changes that have long-run implications for the society in general and for the economy in particular.

A society characterized by a high level of
information intensity in the everyday life of
most citizens, in most organizations and
workplaces; by the use of common or
compatible technology for a wide range of
personal, social, educational and business

sometimes called digital
citizens.

7. FROM INFORMATION SOCIETY
TO

8. A society in which information is a good that one can
exchange, buy, sell, store, transport, process. The society of
the digital divide.
Society with broad access to the information via
internet, media, etc.
You just accumulate information.

bring justice, solidarity, democracy, peace. A society in which
knowledge could be a force for changing society.
A society which should provide universal and equitable access to

10. ABCD
Industrial Society vs. Post-Industrial Society
Information societies, sometimes known as
postindustrial or digital societies, are a recent
development.
Unlike industrial
societies that are
rooted in the
production of material
goods, information
societies are based on
the production of
information and
services.

Japanese economist Fritz
Machlup was one of the first few
people who developed this

The aim of the “Information
Society” is to gain competitive
advantage internationally,
through using Information
Technology in a creative &
productive way.

13. How much time do you spend on your phone or your
computer? Have you noticed how quickly you can
communicate with people across the globe? While we
might take these things for granted today, they are part of
a profound shift in the way that society, culture, and the
economy operate. Known as the information society. We
have seen a major shift whereby the circulation and
production of information is a key social and economic
activity. Things like Internet Communication Technologies
(ICTs), such as the internet, cell phones, and wireless
networks, are key to the functioning of our society.

15. 5 THEORIES
BY FRANK WEBSTER (2000)
ON INFORMATION
SOCIETY

16. FRANK WEBSTER'S (2000) THEORIES ON AN INFORMATION SOCIETY
01
Technological
02
Economical
03
Occupational
04
Cultural
05Spatial
Economy-based approaches track the growth in
economic value of information-related activities.
As business information continues to grow as a
proportion of gross national product, it will get to a
point where the achievement of information
society can be declared.
02
This distinction is clearly more heavily information-
laden than any previous one. We live in a media-
saturated environment and life has become more about
symbolization, about receiving and exchanging
messages about ourselves and others.
04
Arguments here are based on the
assumption that if most works
involve information so we have
reached an information society.
03
New technologies are one of the most obvious
indicators of new times, therefore, are commonly taken
to signal of an information society.
01
and globalization physical looks to
lose its determining performs. Here
the main emphasis is on how
information networks link locations,
and consequently can have a deep
impact on the organization of time
and space.
05
As the spatial scholars
see it, we live in
information society
because through the
application of the
information technologies

17. Information Society
How does information society affect our daily life?
Technology is transforming every aspect of cultural,
political, and social life based on the production and
distribution of information. It is characterized by the
influence of ICT at home, work, and entertainment
aspects of the individuals’ daily routine.

18. DIGITAL LITERACY
- is the competencies
required for participation in
a knowledge society. It
includes the effective use
of digital devices such for
purposes of
communication,
expression, collaboration
and advocacy.
The most used internet browser
is Google.
- 3.5 billion searches are done
per day.
- 1.2 trillion a year.

19. Do we live in an
information society?
Does it matter?
We live in an information society. There can be no doubt that there is much
more information available than ever before. But if the there is only more
information, it is not easy to suggest why the information society is something
completely new. All societies can be called information society in so far as
they all even pre-internet societies have had routines and procedures and
means to gather, store, and control about people. So, more information can
not itself be supposed as a break with previous social systems.

20. The decreasing value of communications due to both technical improvements and increased competition has
been to follow and assist the drastic increases in the power and usage of recent information technologies.
According to Moores: these developments offer many enormous opportunities but also face major challenges.
Today, record inventions have enormous results across various domain names of society, and coverage
creators are emerging on issues related to monetary profitability, intellectual property rights, privacy
protection, and accessibility of records and affordability.
Impacts of Information Technology on Society in the New Century

22. Communication
and Connection
Social media is making it much easier
for people to find one another and
reconnect, even after decades of being
apart. The sites are a great way to see
what is happening in the lives of
friends and family, and to meet new
people who have similar interests and
thoughts to yours.
SOCIAL MEDIA’S EFFECT ON…
Youth
Marketing
The youth of the world is often the most
ready to adapt to and learn to use new
technologies, and they are certainly at
the forefront of social media of all types.
They have more technological know-
how than many of older generations as
well. It is important to watch to make
sure that social media sites do not take
over the lives of children. When used
appropriately, it can be a very good
thing.
Many companies are actually
choosing to become a part of the site
rather than merely buying advertising.
This allows for a closer connection
between the customers and the
companies, which could lead to better
service and better quality products.

23. SOCIAL MEDIA’S EFFECT ON…
Another reason people are spending as much
time as they do on social media sites is
because they can be a great form of
entertainment. Watch videos that people post
to their timelines, view pictures, read stories,
and even play games. The sites are certainly
a step toward world globalization.
Entertainment
The media influences so many people's
behavior nowadays. The media
can manipulate, influence, persuade and
pressurize society, along with even
controlling the world at times in both
positive and negative ways; mentally,
physically and emotionally.
