ABSTRACT
We live in what is typically labelled the Information Society (third industrial revolution, 1 Third Wave, 2 Networked Society, 3 the Age of Knowledge, 4 Bit Society, 5 or Communication Society 6 ). It has been an evolutionary concept: starting with the electronic age, where the personal computer began to be intensively used; followed by the information age, characterized by networked computers; and arriving in the digital era, dominated by the wide use of all kinds of networks, terminals and applications; culminating with the rise of a new digital society.
