information society
Data-centered social order
A society in which the creation, distribution, and manipulation of information are the primary economic and cultural activities.
The term emerged in the late twentieth century as computing and telecommunications transformed how people work, communicate, and organize.
An information society values knowledge workers, digital infrastructure, and data—contrasting with industrial societies built around manufacturing.
We live in an information society where your data is the product.
