What does information society mean? Information Society is a term for a society in which the creation, distribution, and manipulation of information has become the most significant economic and cultural activity. An Information (knowledge) Society may be contrasted with societies in which the economic underpinning is primarily Industrial . The machine tools of the Information Society are computers and telecommunications, rather than lathes or ploughs. An information society is a society where the creation, distribution, use, integration and manipulation of information is a significant economic, political, and cultural activity. Its main drivers are digital information and communication technologies, which have resulted in an information explosion and are profoundly changing all aspects of social organization, including the economy, education, health, warfare, government and democracy. The people who have the means to partake in this form of society are sometimes called digital citizens. Those who use the Internet regularly and effectively". This is one of many dozen labels that have been identified to suggest that humans are entering a new phase of society.

Knowledge services and knowledge value put content into an economic context. Knowledge services integrates Knowledge management, within a Knowledge organization, that trades in a Knowledge market. In order for individuals to receive more knowledge, surveillance is used. This relates to the use of Drones as a tool in order to gather knowledge on other individuals. Although seemingly synonymous, each term conveys more than nuances or slightly different views of the same thing. Each term represents one attribute of the likely nature of economic activity in the emerging post-industrial society. Alternatively, the new economic order will incorporate all of the above plus other attributes that have not yet fully emerged. In connection with the development of the information society, appeared information pollution, evolving information ecology - associated with information hygiene. Today, It is important to selectively select the information. Due to information revolution, the amount of information is puzzling. Among these, we need to develop techniques that refine information. This is called data mining. It is an engineering term, but it is used in sociology. In other words, if the amount of information was competitive in the past, the quality of information is important today.What are important factors that influence consumer behavior in our information society nowadays ?You for sure might be wondering as to what is it that influences these consumers, how do we analyzes when is their purchase pattern going to change. Of course only the influencing factors will confirm what will change the consumers buying pattern.We have four main factors that affect consumer behavior they are;1.Consumer Behavior - Cultural factorsCulture plays a very vital role in the determining consumer behavior it is sub divided in. Culture is a very complex belief of human behavior it includes the human society, the roles that the society plays, the behavior of the society, its values customs and traditions. Culture needs to be examined as it is a very important factor that influences consumer behavior.

⦁How information society influences consumer individual consumption method?Information and technology are all around us.we'll talk about what some scholars have called the information society, or a profound shift in society and the economy wherein the circulation of information is key to productivity.How much time do you spend on your phone or your computer? Have you noticed how quickly you can communicate with people across the globe? While we might take these things for granted today, they are part of a profound shift in the way that society, culture, and the economy operate. Known as the information society, we have seen a major shift whereby the circulation and production of information is a key social and economic activity. Things like Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as the internet, cell phones, and wireless networks, are key to the functioning of our society. Scholars of the information society have called this a shift from manual labor to mental labor, in the sense that the primary form of production in the economy has shifted from goods-based to knowledge-based. In other words, instead of a focus on the production of a particular good, such as steel, the most important economic activity comes in the form of producing information, like computer technologies and software. This information replaces material goods as the most important driving force of economic activity. Let's talk more about the origins of this term. ⦁The background of information society developmentOne of the earliest uses of the term, information society can be found in the work of sociologist Daniel Bell. In the 1970s he wrote a book called The Coming of the Post-Industrial Society, where he argued that the United States was moving away from an industrial society to a post-industrial society. An industrial society is when the focus is on the production of goods. In economist's argument, the main economic activities of society will be that we produce various types of knowledge instead of consumer goods, as we did during the industrial heyday. Production has shifted away from factories in the information society . The network society is characterized by profound shifts in technological development and innovation. Economies and production within them are now flexible. This has led to a global economy that is highly informational. One major shift here is the way that internet technology allows us to work and communicate in real time and at dizzying speeds. For example, let's say Johnny this staff office is based in New York City, but she has clients in Tokyo and Paris. In the information age, Mary and her co-workers across the globe can communicate almost instantly without ever leaving their offices. ⦁How information social change influences consumer behaviors?Consumer Behaviour means that the consumer is the KING of the market is the one that dominates the market and the market trends. A consumer is someone who pays a sum to consume the goods and services sold by an organization. The consumer plays a very important role in the demand and supply chain of every economic system of every nation. The producers of the goods and services would lack the motive of producing as there would be no demand for their products.What is consumer role in traditional society ?A consumer need not just be an individual; a consumer can also be an organization. A consumer can be someone who will buy either goods or services or you can also specify the goods and services as economic services or products, or good or commodities. A consumer is the end user or a target to whom the goods and services are sold. In simple words a consumer can be described as:

This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Information economy how influences our societyNowadays, we will contact different information from different sources, e.g. internet, newspaper, magazine, radio, television. So, our daily lives are influenced by any information and we will analyze the useful information to do any decision, e.g. consumption, entertainment, travelling, learning etc. So, information can influence our societies to develop. However, I believe that, due to internet invention can be applied to mobile invention. Hence, human feel mobile is not only phone call function, it can be applied to link internet to find any data from website in any where and in any time conveniently. I shall indicate some cases to explain how and why internet information can influence mobile to help us to gather any data to do any decisions in any where and any time . So, mobile will bring more influence to our future economy development, I shall explain as below: Economic science has a direct impact on our lives and it has a critical role to play to consumers and organization decision makers. Such as when you read the newspapers about disputes concerning current economic issue, are you often argue the issue? If you think that a better, cheaper television information source does come from newspapers, radio, television or magazine advertisement, then what channel that you will gather the kind of television information, internet will be the best channel to gather information because it is rapid and convenient. So, technological innovation can influence consumers to gather information. Any people can turn on computer and we can find any information from internet. It is one the lowest cost and less time spending information gather method. Every aspect of human behavior reacts to cost in some way. When the cost of something fall, becomes more attractive to use. Such as internet information gather channel method. But, how internet information gathering channel influences our economic development, instead of human information gathering behavior changes.For a firm case, when it can attempt to sell the same item to different consumers at different prices. ( price discrimination). When you are on an airplane, ask the person next to you how much he or she paid for the ticket. It's probably nor what you paid. You are sitting on the same plane, travelling to the same destination, eating the same food on the plan, but your both ticket price may be difference. Because you do not apply internet to compare the ticket price or you do not apply internet to gather the item price to decide to buy the firm product. So, such as air ticket consumer or product consumer to you, because you do not spend little time to gather air ticket price or the product price information to ensure whether you make decision to buy the product or pre paid the air ticket is reasonable at the moment.

International organizations, governments, academia, industry, and the media have all begun to grapple with the information society as a global policy issue. The first United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), held in December 2003, recognized the connections between information technology and human rights with a Declaration of Principles—in effect, the first "constitution" for cyberspace—that called for the development of the information society to conform to recognized standards of human rights. Critical issues in the policy debates around WSIS have been the so-called digital divide, which reflects a knowledge divide, a social divide, and an economic divide; and the need for a nondiscriminatory information society to provide universal access to information technology in local languages throughout the developing world. Other crucial issues include the regulatory frameworks for information access and ownership and such basic freedoms as the right to privacy. The contributors to this timely volume examine the links between information technology and human rights from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Scholars, human rights activists, and practitioners discuss such topics as freedom of expression, access to information, privacy, discrimination, gender equality, intellectual property, political participation, and freedom of assembly in the context of the revolution in information and communication technology, exploring the ways in which the information society can either advance human rights around the world or threaten them. An afterword reports on the November 2005 WSIS, held in Tunis, and its reaffirmation of the fundamental role of human rights in the global information society.

Why do we find ourselves living in an Information Society? How did the collection, processing, and communication of information come to play an increasingly important role in advanced industrial countries relative to the roles of matter and energy? And why is this change recent--or is it? James Beniger traces the origin of the Information Society to major economic and business crises of the past century. In the United States, applications of steam power in the early 1800s brought a dramatic rise in the speed, volume, and complexity of industrial processes, making them difficult to control. Scores of problems arose: fatal train wrecks, misplacement of freight cars for months at a time, loss of shipments, inability to maintain high rates of inventory turnover. Inevitably the Industrial Revolution, with its ballooning use of energy to drive material processes, required a corresponding growth in the exploitation of information: the Control Revolution. Between the 1840s and the 1920s came most of the important information-processing and communication technologies still in use today: telegraphy, modern bureaucracy. rotary power printing, the postage stamp, paper money, typewriter, telephone, punch-card processing, motion pictures, radio, and television. Beniger shows that more recent developments in microprocessors, computers, and telecommunications are only a smooth continuation of this Control Revolution. Along the way he touches on many fascinating topics: why breakfast was invented, how trademarks came to be worth more than the companies that own them, why some employees wear uniforms, and whether time zones will always be necessary. The book is impressive not only for the breadth of its scholarship but also for the subtlety and force of its argument. It will be welcomed by sociologists, economists, historians of science and technology, and all curious in general.

Oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) are the paramount social hormones in mammals and accumulating evidence also strengthens the unique role of these neuropeptides also in human social behavior. Indeed from voles to humans, OT and AVP modulate an intriguing number of social behaviors resonating across species such as the quality of pair bonding, parenting, modulations of social stress, in-group & out-group relationships and social communications. Recent molecular genetic studies of the oxytocin (OXTR), arginine vasopressin 1a (AVPR1a) and arginine vasopressin 1b (AVPR1b) receptors have strengthened the role of these two neuropeptides in a range of normal and pathological human behaviors. Importantly, dysfunctions in the OT and AVP neural pathways are likely contributing to deficits in social skills and communication in disorders such as autism. This Research Topic covers the state of the science and provides a deep view of social hormone research in humans to illustrates how pharmacological, genetic and neuroimaging strategies can be successfully combined toward unraveling the mystery of how human social behavior is regulated. Understanding human social behavior at the molecular level, i.e. social neuroscience, is not only crucial for treatment and diagnosis of disorders characterized by deficits in social cognition but also has important implications in establishing the congruence of findings from different approaches in the Social Sciences and Biology. We bring together in this issue a broad spectrum of investigators from the neurosciences, genetics, psychology, economics and political science towards a deeper understanding of the biological roots of human social behavior. We hope that this transdisciplinary Research Topic will bring new insights and ideas to the field, give future perspectives while also addressing open questions and limitation in order to develop intervention and prevention strategies, and to translate the basic social hormone research into clinical applications.

This volume expands the field of consumer behavior in marketing in order to understand the “real world”, of underserved and underexplored populations, modern-day social issues, and power and agency. Connecting with others is a fundamental human requirement to survive and thrive psychologically, spiritually, and physically, for both individuals and society. Rather than focusing on normative marketing concepts, this book encourages readers to explore new substantive domains, and analyze them from a holistic perspective. It is organized into four sections, namely “marketing to consumers as…” (1) “mindful, happy and social”, (2) “intersectional, diverse, and inclusive”, (3) “information seekers”, and (4) “social change agents”. Consisting of fifteen chapters written by leading scholars in marketing, specific topics considered here include mindfulness, happiness, loneliness, sex and gender in advertising, privacy, skin lightening, information overload, health and technology, mitigating extremism, charitable behavior, and corporate social responsibility, among others.
