Formation of a Knowledge-Based Society through Utilization of Information Networking

Abstract

“Information society,” “knowledge network” and “digital divide” are terms becoming increasingly common in many parts of the world over recent years. The key element in these concepts is that of “information,” and its fluidity in the modern world. Information can be viewed as the foundation stone of this new phenomenon and is the collation of raw and un-processed data into meaningful dialogue. Many societies and communities in developed and developing situation have settled on the term “information,” to describe the new economy and be the basis of development in the new millennium.
