Postindustrial Society is a term coined by Daniel Bell in order to grasp the central core of the current economic and cultural trends. The theory of the Informational Revolution is an up to date alternative.

An information society is a society where the usage, creation, distribution, manipulation and integration of information is a significant activity.[1] Its main drivers are information and communication technologies, which have resulted in rapid growth of a variety of forms of information. Proponents of this theory posit that these technologies are impacting most important forms of social organization, including education, economy,[2] health, government,[3] warfare, and levels of democracy.[4] The people who are able to partake in this form of society are sometimes called either computer users or even digital citizens, defined by K. Mossberger as “Those who use the Internet regularly and effectively”. This is one of many dozen internet terms that have been identified to suggest that humans are entering a new and different phase of society.[5]
Some of the markers of this steady change may be technological, economic, occupational, spatial, cultural, or a combination of all of these.[6] Information society is seen as a successor to industrial society. Closely related concepts are the post-industrial society (post-fordism), post-modern society, computer society and knowledge society, telematic society, society of the spectacle (postmodernism), Information Revolution and Information Age, network society (Manuel Castells) or even liquid modernity.

A knowledge society generates, shares, and makes available to all members of the society knowledge that may be used to improve the human condition. A knowledge society differs from an information society in that the former serves to transform information into resources that allow society to take effective action, while the latter only creates and disseminates the raw data.[1] The capacity to gather and analyze information has existed throughout human history. However, the idea of the present-day knowledge society is based on the vast increase in data creation and information dissemination that results from the innovation of information technologies.[2] The UNESCO World Report addresses the definition, content and future of knowledge societies.[3]
