Informatization of society - is the process of systemic activities aimed at the mastery of information as a resource management.Means of computer use in the further continuation of the progress of civilization.
Some authors believe that the informatization of society consists of three connected to each other processes: mediatization, computerization and intellectualization.
Mediatization is to improve storage facilities, collection and dissemination of information.
called computerization of improved search facilities, processing methods knowledge.
intellectualization - the development of generation capacity, and the perception of information.In other words, information society at this stage is expressed in increasing the intellectual potential of the population, using, among others, artificial intelligence.
According to experts, the entire process of mastering knowledge is often understood as a process of development of information and communication is only on the basis of the latest telecommunications and computer equipment.However, the informatization of society should in principle be treated as a qualitative improvement, development, and a radical strengthening of the use of modern means of cognitive (cognitive) social processes and structures.An integral part of the whole process should be intellectualization of the population, largely contributes to the creative potential of not only the individual, but also among her knowledge.
During the discussion at the end of the 80s the concept of informatization of the Russian state experts was to identify the main idea.It consisted, largely, in the information development of all social structures.Experts say that the informatization of society is the companion of democratization.It should be noted that the development process is the acquisition of knowledge throughout the world and affects the nature of the objective appearance and Russia.However, little progress in the democratization of the country are not conducive to the development of the need to improve environmental knowledge.
define the role of information in the development of society, it should be noted that this process of improvement, acquisition and application of knowledge is focused on all the possible scope of the state of the market entity or individual.This provides for the application of the latest technologies in order to maintain the effective functioning of any social, organizational and economic structure.
main objective of social informatization is considered to increase the level of social production, the available types of services and products in order to improve social and economic living conditions of the population.
It is necessary to achieve a reduction of various types of material, financial, energy and other flows due to the partial replacement of their compensation and flow of information.
To implement the above tasks using appropriate systems.
Create an information environment covering services, social services, as well as material production, includes:
- the creation of information technology (IT) and engineering, capable of processing, production and dissemination of knowledge;
- the development of infrastructure to ensure the development and implementation of processes and tools to improve the acquisition of knowledge;
- production of information and its products.
The objects of the process of improving the acquisition of knowledge include:
- documents, files or databases messages to PCs (personal computers);
- individually developed technology;
- software;
- network and IVS (information and computer systems).
