Since wealth,power and freedom of action derive from control over,access to,and effective use of, information and expertise, the shifting organization of information technologies and social life -- large scale and small scale -- is a major concern.These combined trends have stimulated discussions the relationships between technological change and social change. The term Information Society has been a key marker for many of these studies and discussions.
