The collective monograph, along with the classical themes of V.A. Kutyrev, contains new themes of his co-authors V.V. Slyusarev and T.M. Khusyainov: transformation of social structures, problems of interaction with virtual assistants, personal self-identification in the information society, labor resources in the context of globalization, opposition to humanism and efficiency in the market. The second theme is the increasing complexity of the information society through speed, data volumes, convergence, and dialogue. Religious differences that have fundamentally differentiated ethnic groups for so many centuries are a thing of the past. Differentiation of consumption styles, the ecological load on the biosphere and the capacity of the habitat; these are the current antinomies of man and technology. The paper deals with the effects of current social dynamics, in particular, the increasing processes of precarization, the accelerating pace of life and population growth. Stable employment, sustainable development, wisdom, conservative values; all of this is offered as a sacrifice to civilization, gamification, informatization and together constitutes a society of risk. Can we talk about human consumption by Technos? Isn't this black slug on the cover of the monograph yet another philosophical hypostatized metaphor? It would be correct to say that in conditions of overproduction of people, we need equipment for more efficient production. Without it, we cannot remain human. Technology helped us to leave a purely biological state and become sapient, civilized. Artificial intelligence, neural networks, robotics, blockchain (data processing distribution), 5G standard, big data, internet of things, cloud computing, 3D printing, augmented reality; these are not monster technologies, transhumanist actors, but something that can provide promising employment to millions of people. The problem of unemployment in post-industrial society is already becoming global, because humanity has reached the limits of development. The rapid precarization of the population is proof of this. The mass of people on the planet cannot find normal employment with social guarantees. So maybe we need to thank tech? The review ends with such an ambiguous conclusion.

This chapter presents a perspective of a post-industrial society, through the development of the information society and its deployment, focusing on the possibilities of a service predominant society. The most important point of this exercise is that this approach did not happen as expected in form or time. In the past, the ICT tools were restricted to centers of competence or in organizations. Nowadays, their increasingly presence in individual lives, as well as in their human relationships, is changing social and commercial relations, the meaning of work and political participation of people in a compulsory way, unlike what had happened at the turn of agricultural to industrial Eras. New possibilities happen in a rapid manner in a society based on wealth concentration, when there is association of ICTs with the restlessness of social movements or collective protests demanding better living conditions of minority communities. The increasing information flows have led to the desire of knowledge. However, this search for the social welfare achievements has occurred in a superficial manner, leading to anxiety and depression of common and deprived citizens. A new Citizenship or, better defined, e-Citizenship emerges between their aspirations. Based on facts and observations of recent research on the impacts of ICTs in the last ten years, the approach of a community service changes the daily lives of individuals, despite its acceptance or perception, the presence of virtual media, the growing media innovation and agricultural, industrial and operational processes, as well as the claimed social movements.

The ‘Digital economy’ is sometimes used synonymously with ‘information society’, which emerged back in the 1960s to describe a futuristic society that is highly dependent on information (Bridges.org, 2001; Computer Systems Policy Projects, 2000). Martin (1997:87) further associates the concept with ‘information economics’ by defining it as a society in which there is a growing rate in the production, distribution and use of information. The ‘Digital economy’, as term and concept, has been used in this book in keeping with ‘information society’ as espoused by Schienstock et al. (1999), who view it from an interdisciplinary perspective to describe: An information economy;A post-industrial society; The end of the industrial labour society; A knowledge society; An ‘informatized’ industrial society; and A learning society.

This article briefly discusses various definitions and concepts of the so-called information society. The term information society has been proposed to refer to the post-industrial society in which information plays a pivotal role. The definitions that have been proposed over the years highlight five underlying characterisations of an information society: technological, economic, sociological, spatial, and cultural. This article discusses those characteristics. While the emergence of an information society may be just a figment of one’s imagination, the concept could be a good organising principle to describe and analyse the changes of the past 50 years and of the future in the 21st century.

The Impact

RESUMO: A partir da sociedade pós-industrial, houve o delineamento de um novo paradigma social advindo da Sociedade da Informação, identificado especialmente pelas novas tecnologias e pelo impacto que a informação suscitou nos mais variados meios sociais. Nesse passo, quais seriam as relações existentes entre a Sociedade da Informação e o desenvolvimento da linguagem? Esse problema conduz a pesquisa, que buscará inicialmente contextualizar a sociedade da informação, para, em seguida, associá-la com os elementos da linguagem. Posteriormente, será analisado o relativismo linguístico e a ideia trabalhada por George Orwell em seu livro “1984”. Em seguida, fala-se sobre a Sociedade da Informação, novas tecnologias e o advento de novas palavras e sentidos. Para tanto, utiliza-se o método de abordagem dedutivo. O método de procedimento será o monográfico. Quanto à técnica, utiliza-se a documentação indireta (pesquisa bibliográfica). Ao final, o estudo permitiu indicar que existe uma relação direta e indissociável entre a Sociedade da Informação e o desenvolvimento da linguagem, especialmente pelas integrações globais das novas tecnologias. Além disso, a adoção de novos símbolos linguísticos é necessária para acompanhar a velocidade da tecnologia e da informação, diante da expansão de novas palavras e novos sentidos. Com isso, constatou-se que a Sociedade da Informação se constitui em um vasto campo para o desenvolvimento, marcado pela mobilidade linguística e pelos novos horizontes de palavras e sentidos.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: sociedade da informação; linguagem; novas tecnologias; construção de palavras e sentidos.   ABSTRACT: After the post-industrial society, there was the design of a new social paradigm arising from the Society of Information, especially identified by new technologies and the impact that the information raised in various social media. In this step, which would be the relationship between the information society and the development of language? This problem leads to research that will initially seek to contextualize the society of information, to then associate it with the language elements. After, the linguistic relativism will be analyzed, as the idea worked by George Orwell in his book "1984". Then, it talks about the Society of Information, new technologies and the advent of new words and meanings. For this, it uses the deductive method of approach. The method of procedure will be the monographic one. As for the technique, the indirect documentation (literature) will be used. Finally, the study concluded that there is a direct and inseparable link between the Information Society and the development of language, especially the global integration of new technologies. Moreover, the adoption of new linguistic symbols is necessary to monitor the speed of technology and information, given the expansion of new words and new meanings. In addition, it was found that the Information Society constitutes a vast field for the development, marked by the linguistic mobility and new horizons of words and meanings.   KEYWORDS: society of Information; language; new technologies; construction of words and meanings.

Настоящая статья посвящена исследованию генезиса и содержания социофилософского термина «общество знания» с опорой на ключевые программные документы ЮНЕСКО (доклады 2005 и 2009 гг.). Анализируется, в первую очередь, соотношение понятий «общество знания», «информационное общество» и «посткапитализм» («постиндустриальное общество») на основе работ классических (1960-1990 гг.) и современных исследователей данного вопроса. Кроме того, в статье проанализированы основные сферы «общества знания» (экономика, образование, культура и право), что позволяет путем синтеза доклада ЮНЕСКО и основных научных трудов в данной области выстроить целостную концепцию «общества знания». This article is devoted to the study of the genesis and content of the socio-philosophical term «knowledge society» based on the key UNESCO policy documents (Reports of 2005 and 2009). The author analyzes, first of all, the correlation of the concepts of «knowledge society», «information society» and «post-capitalism» (post-industrial society) on the basis of the works of classical (1960-1990s) and contemporary researchers of this issue. In addition, the article examines the main areas of the «knowledge society» (economy, education, culture and law), thus proposing on the basis of the UNESCO Report and the main scholarly works in this area comprehensive approach to building a platform of the «knowledge society».

Main Factor

The dramatic changes in the life of the twentieth-century society associated with the development of the information sphere led to the emergence of the concept of an information society, which has identified as the main factor of development the production and use of information. This concept is a variant of the theory of post-industrial society, based on Z. Brzezinski, D. Bell and O. Toffler. According to the latter, this society will emerge as the most technically advanced and at the same time as an anti-industrial civilization, which will bring with it a new code of conduct. The peculiarity of the information society was noted by N. Luman. "If the concept of society presupposes the central importance of domination or values," he notes, "in this case, not only the obvious regional diversity and complexity of communication, but also, first and foremost, the extent to which the" information society "decentralized but interconnected communication across the globe through its networks - a trend that will certainly only increase with the help of computerization in the near future"
