Man, Information, and Society: New Patterns of Interaction

Susan Artandi

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979, vol. 30, issue 1, 15-18

Abstract: Characteristic of today's socially, economically, and technologically complex society is an ever‐growing information output coupled with a constantly increasing reliance on information. Information is considered a resource and there is recognition of the political and economic value of information. Superimposed on the new information environment is a sophisticated information technology raising a variety of issues relating to such things as the freedom and privacy of the individual, its effect on those who interact with it, and the new social stratification system it seems to imply.
