Communication Revolution

<p>The information - electronic economy is fast rising up. From an industrial society we have shifted to one based on the creation and distribution of information, from the institutional help to more self-reliance, from dependence on hierarchical structures to informal networks (especially in business communities) and from an isolated, self-sufficient national economic system to being part of a global system.</p><p>Today's information technology from computer to cable television is a sophisticated technology that hastens our plunge into the information society. As such, we need to understand and study the new society and the changes it brings.</p><p>In an industrial set-up, the strategic resume is capital. A hundred years ago, a lot of people have known how to build a steel plant, but not very many could get the money to build one. Access to the system was limited. But today, "strategic resume is information." Not only the resource but the most important. The new information society has systematized the production of knowledge and amplified our brain power. To use an industrial metaphor, we now mass-produce knowledge and this knowledge is the driving force of our economy.</p><p>According to Peter Drucker, "The productivity of knowledge has only become the key to productivity, competitive strength, and economic achievement. Knowledge has become the primary industry that supplies the economy the essential and central resources of production."</p><p>In an information of economy, value is increased not by labor and by knowledge. Marx's "labor theory of value," must have been replaced since about two-thirds of the economic growth came about because of the increased size and education of the workforce and the greater pool of knowledge available to workers.</p><p>Now, years after the creation of the first data communication devices, we stand at the threshold of a mammoth communication revolution. The combined technologies of the telephone, computer, and television have merged into an integrated information and communication system that transmit data and permit instantaneous interactions between persons and computers. As our transportation network carried the products of the information society, this new integrated communication system will fuel the information society the way energy kept the industrial society humming and the way natural power and brute force sustained agricultural society.</p><p><a target="_new" href="http://rfvietnamrose09.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://rfvietnamrose09.blogspot.com</a></p><p><a target="_new" href="http://rfvietnamrose09.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://rfvietnamrose09.blogspot.com</a></p>
