Information Society-the concept and related nations

We live in information society. Every day we start i the same way. We open our computers or watch tv or read papers for longing for new informations. One of us want to know what is going on i South Korea and the other what king of shoes Paris Hilton is wearing today.

20 years ago we could read and listen to news wroted in papers or showed in tv. Now world give us so many informations that we can pick the one we like or we're interested in and it don't have to be informations from one source.

The hunger of informations grew hand in hand with hunger for new technologies. 10 years ago I didn't have a cell phone or computer in my house and the only thing I wanted to have was a precious bike. Now when I look on my younger cousins I don't see the same dreams and hopes. Now they want to have a new, better cell every year and the dream of a precious bike make them laugh. I was shocked when my 2 year old nephew took a CD and knew where to put it and watch "Teletubbies".

Going back to informatons in society... In my opinion information now is in many cases more and more worthless. The explosion of new posibilities that came with new technologies was beyond our expectations. We were used to no cell phones, no e-mails, no messengers, no Facebook

and still informations spread wery quickly. And people were meeting ther people in real life, not in Internet. Now the new generation of young people wants to talk not face to face but with using computer.

So the conlcusion is: information society is good and we all know about it, that's nothing new or amazing, but it has some disadvatages that can provide to fall of the society and social life in the real world. This society we live in gives us so much opportunites but also it isolate our imgination. We'll stop talking and start texting to person next to us.
