In the decades of the seventeenth and 20th century, the predominant phrase was Computer Science, with ideas and trends that targeted an informational society. Gradually the concept of Information Society has gained ground and has become a reality since the explosion of the Internet, the main vector of this society. This has happened in the last decade of the 20th century. Starting with the 21st century, the concept of the Knowledge Society has moved.
New concepts that benefit from the suffix e are discovered and launched every year. From the timely attempts of the 95s to 96s to introduce the concept of e-commerce, 1998-2005 came to the promotion of e-business concepts, e-learning, e-procurement, e-voting, e-democracy, e-referendum, e-library and e-government. Practically starting with 2006 we can talk about the concept of e-everything. That is why the true information society must ensure the legal and social guarantees of every citizen who, anywhere and anytime, can access (receive) all the information necessary for his activity and solve the problems of each individual. If such safeguards do not exist, then society can not be considered informational.
It is possible to imagine a society in which industry, public administration and other specialized structures of power will be fully computerized and included in the system of current communication networks, yet information in such a society proves to be a good asset of the administrative and political elite. Whole masses of people, after which their potential creator and social activity can be isolated from the knowledge that is circulating and those created in these networks. | Keywords
