February 1, 2012 | 
Author Technological development – Internet, mobile communications, broadband, satellite, microwave, etc. – is to produce significant changes in the economic and social structure, and the set of social relations. Information has become the promoter axis of social, economic and cultural changes. The rise of telecommunications has been a transformation of the technologies of information and communication, whose impact has affected all sectors of the economy and society.
The expansion of computer networks has made possible the globalization of exchanges and relations, to put in communication to broad sectors of citizens residing in distant geographical areas among themselves. National spaces have been superseded by the information technologies that have no borders: political, military and economic – especially financial-, social, business, information etc. are exchanged and are transmitted every day around the world, so that our life is conditional in each moment by what is happening to thousands of miles away. Any political or economic event that took place in a country can have a significant impact on economic activity in other Nations. Higher rates of interest in United States, for example, affects the price of money in Europe and, accordingly, to the Monetary liquidity of citizens, and therefore to their chances of consumption and welfare.
The information has contributed to the events that take place at the global, continental, or national level we are closest, and that the idea of the “global village” go making reality. Our vision of the world is becoming a new dimension above countries, communities and cities, the same thing that happens to the companies. We have a new social model, the “global society”, in which borders disappear in favor of the exchange of ideas, messages, products, services, and people.
Today, progress in the so-called information technology, covering equipment and computer applications and telecommunications, are having a great effect. In fact, says that we are in a new type of society called the information society and knowledge society, which is to replace the two previous socio-economic models, agrarian society and industrial society.

Raising living standards
An important cultural factor in social evolution is the accumulation of knowledge. Knowledge of the underlying technology; improvement of technologies is an essential mechanism to change the social structure. Ancient agrarian civilization-generation developed agriculture, based on the use of plough, animal, artificial irrigation systems and other technologies that may seem primitive today, but have a revolutionary impact on the structure of the societies of the past. Industrial society is impossible without opening the energy of steam and other technical innovations. Widespread introduction of technology in the production had a profound impact on the social structure and way of life.
Allowing more goods at lower costs, technological achievements are the principal means of raising living standards … However; technology has become not only a means of raising living standards, but also the primary mechanism for reducing inequalities in Western society. The reason for this …is lowering the cost of most goods and rising real wages of the working class in Western countries.
Development of technology has created a new class, previously unknown in society-class engineers and technicians, people not directly engaged in productive work, but a “device” planning operations that make up the production process.
Technological progress has formed a new definition of rationality, a new way of thinking, make emphasis on the functional relationship and quantitative indicators. Performance criteria it is efficiency and optimization, i.e., the use of resources with minimal cost and effort. This definition of functional rationality has resulted new forms of education, when quantitative methods and economic analysis is being pushed back to the old principles based on speculative thought, traditions and internal sense.
The transition to a post-industrial stage of development in the second half of the 20th century is also linked to the further development of technologies based on the growth of scientific knowledge, the emergence of information technologies. Impact of information technology on structure and culture of modern societies elicited the emergence of a new term-”information society”.
