4. AN INFORMATION SOCIETY:
Society where the creation,
distribution, use, integration and
manipulation of information is a
significant economic, political, and
cultural activity. Its main drivers are
digital information and communication
technologies, which have resulted in
an information explosion and are
profoundly changing all aspects of
social organization, including
the economy, education, health, warfar
e government and democracy.
DEFINITION

5. THE GROWTH OF INFORMATION IN
SOCIETY
The growth of technologically mediated information has been quantified in
different ways, including society's technological capacity to store information,
to communicate information, and to compute information. The world’s combined
technological capacity to receive information through one-way broadcast
networks was the informational equivalent of 174 newspapers per person per
day in 2007.

6. One of the first people to develop the concept of the information society was
the economist Fritz Machlup who began studying the effect of patents on
research. His work culminated in the study The production and distribution of
knowledge in the United States .
The issue of technologies and their role in contemporary society have been
discussed in the scientific literature using a range of labels and concepts. This
section introduces some of them. Ideas of a knowledge or information
economy, post-industrial society, postmodern society, network society,
the information revolution, informational capitalism, network capitalism, and the
like, have been debated over the last several decades.
DEVELOPMEN
T:

7. ECONOMIC TRANSITION
•Peter Drucker has argued that there is a transition from an economy
based on material goods to one based on knowledge.
•Marc Porat distinguishes a primary and a secondary sector of the
information economy.
•Daniel Bell the number of employees producing services and information
is an indicator for the informational character of a society.
•Jean-François Lyotard has argued that "knowledge has become the
principle force of production over the last few decades". Knowledge
would be transformed into a commodity.
There are more philosophers

8. ECONOMIC TRANSITION

In later stages, the
Quaternary sector of
the economy grows

9. CRITIQUES
The major critique of concepts such as information society, knowledge
society, network society, postmodern society, postindustrial society, etc. that
has mainly been voiced by critical scholars is that they create the impression
that we have entered a completely new type of society
These critics argue that contemporary society first of all is still a capitalist
society oriented towards accumulating economic, political, and cultural capital.

10. SECOND ANDTHIRD NATURE
Information society is the means of getting information from
one place to another. As technology has advanced so too has the
way people have adapted in sharing this information with each
other.

11. ICT
Is an extended term for information technology which stresses the role
of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications,
computers and audio-visual systems.
The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual
and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling
or link system.

12. HOW IS AFFECTING TO THE
POPULATION
In modern society ICT is ever-present, with over three billion people
having access to the Internet. With approximately 8 out of 10
Internet users owning a smartphone, information and data are
increasing. This rapid growth, especially in developing countries, has
led ICT to become a keystone of everyday life, in which life without
some facet of technology renders most of clerical, work and routine
tasks dysfunctional.

13. IN EDUCATION
Information and Communication
Technology can contribute to
universal access to education,
equity in education, the delivery
of quality learning and teaching,
teachers' professional
development and more efficient
education management,
governance and
administration. UNESCO takes a
holistic and comprehensive
approach to promoting ICT in
education

14. DIGITALLITERACY
Digital literacy is the set of competencies required for full participation in
a knowledge society. It includes knowledge, skills, and behaviors involving
the effective use of digital devices such
as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs for purposes of
communication, expression, collaboration and advocacy. While digital literacy
initially focused on digital skills and stand-alone computers, the focus has
shifted from stand-alone to network devices including the Internet and
social media.

15. 3 TYPESOF VALUES IN DIGITAL
LITERACY
Education: Schools are continuously updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep
up with accelerating technological developments. This includes computers in the
classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials
being made available to students online. Some classrooms are designed to
use smartboards and audience response systems.

16. Society: Digital literacy helps people communicate and keep up with societal trends. Literacy
in social network services helps people stay in contact with others, pass timely information
and even sell goods and services. This is mostly popular among younger generations.
Research has demonstrated that the differences in the level of digital literacy depend
mainly on age and education level, while the influence of gender is decreasing. Among young
people, digital literacy is high in its operational dimension.
3 TYPES OF VALUES INDIGITAL LITERACY

17. Workforce: Those who are digitally literate are more likely to be economically secure. Many
jobs require a working knowledge of computers and the Internet to perform basic functions. As
technology has become cheaper and more readily available, more blue-collar jobs have required
digital literacy as well. Manufacturers and retailers, for example, are expected to collect and
analyze data about productivity and market trends to stay competitive.
3 TYPESOF VALUES IN DIGITAL LITERACY

18. Information is available from many sources and in many formats. To effectively navigate
your way through these varied sources, you need to know why, when, and how to use all of
these tools and think critically about the information they provide.
Information veracity is the ability to:
---Identify and locate information .
---Evaluate the information's validity.
---Use the information appropriately and ethically.
VERACITY OF THE INFOMATION

19. INFORMATIONVERACITY ISNOT
 The ability to use a computer
 The same as being a frequent user of Google or Facebook or Wikipedia--familiarity with
these websites doesn't automatically make you a savvy seeker of information.
Being information literate is a learned skill. You won't become information literate overnight.
As with other learned skills, it takes practice.

20. VERACITY OF THE INFORMATIONIN
LIFE

21. IS TECHNOLOGY MAKING US LESS
HUMAN?
Never have we had greater access to knowledge than we do right now—limitless information
just a few clicks away, the line between man and machine increasingly blurred.
We have this amazing and wondrous thing called a brain, and yet as we make increasingly
greater strides in technological innovation, we are tempted to use this masterful tool less
and less.

22. MANAGERIAL SKILLS
Managerial skills are the knowledge and ability of the individuals in a managerial position
to fulfill some specific managerial activities or tasks. This knowledge and ability can be
learned and practiced.
3 TYPESOF MANAGERIALSKILLS
Robert Katz identifies three types of skills that are essential for a
successful management process:
•Technical
•Conceptual
•Human or interpersonal management skills.
We are going to talk about technical skills

23. DETERIORATION OF HUMANSKILLS
THE BLACKBERRY FINGER
This habit can develop
overloads at the base of the
thumb, which in turn can lead
to the so-called "BlackBerry
finger", formerly known as
arthritic seamstresses.
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Sustained adoption of a bad
posture with the wrist can
cause this carpal tunnel
syndrome, which manifests
itself through severe pain in
the wrist and / or palm of
the hand when it is long in
the computer.

24. CERVICAL DAMAGE
Being able to work anywhere,
ergonomics fail, and there are
more problems in the cervical
because the laptop screen is
not at eye level, but also
tendinitis in the fingers, wrists
and shoulders to adopt
incorrect positions.
VISUAL STRESS
The time we spend in front of
electronic devices, such as tablets,
mobile phones and eBooks, results in
visual stress, causing the eyes to dry
a lot. If you are usually very close to
the screen, you may develop tired
and / or myopia.

25. CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Although children can develop
some important faculties thanks
to the new technologies, their
main effect is that they avoid
any type of physical activity to
the maximum by their constant
interest in the game: all those
hours in front of the screen
increase the childhood obesity
and, therefore, The
cardiovascular risk.
INSOMNIA
The use of electronic devices
just before bedtime makes it
difficult to reconcile sleep, not
only because of the time
consumed that its use implies
but the light they emit, which
reduces the amount of
melatonin secreting the brain,
thus hampering sleep and its
quality .

26. THE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE:
On the global economic structure are creating immense transformations in the way
companies and nations organize production, trade goods, invest capital, and develop new
products and processes.
Sophisticated information technologies permit instantaneous communication among the
far-flung operations of global enterprises.

27. GLOBALIZATION IN
TECHNOLOGY
Technology has not only played a role in ushering in the age of globalization, it has
been the main catalyst for its advancement. Major breakthroughs in information
technology, communication and transportation have been the driving forces behind
the early 21st century global market boom.

28. INTERNET AND INFORMATION SYSTEM
(GLOBALIZATION)
Perhaps the most significant advancement in globalization has been the Internet and
information systems. Massive amounts of information and data are available via the
World Wide Web, and there is rarely a question that cannot be answered with a
search engine.
Although the Internet has granted people all over the world the ability to share
information with each other, it has been a surge in telecommunications technology
that has facilitated the global exchange of data.
