Abstract:

Computer Society is a new stage of human civilization, a new way of superior quality life that involves the intensive use of  information  in all spheres of human activity and existence, with a major economic and  social impact. The information  society allows broad access to information for its members, a new way of working and knowledge, enhancing the possibility of economic globalization and increasing social cohesion. The technological support of the new society is constituted  by the convergence of three sectors: information technology, communications technology, digital content production. Technological progress has allowed the emergence of new multimedia services and applications that combine sound, image and text and use all communication (telephone, fax, television and computers). The development of these new means of communication and information technology is an important factor for increasing the competitiveness of economic agents, opening up new perspectives for better organization of  work and creation of new  jobs. At the same time, new perspectives are emerging for the modernization of public services, health care, environmental management and new ways of communication between public administration institutions and citizens. Broad  access to education and culture - for all social categories, regardless of age or geographic location - can also be achieved with the help of new technologies.
