Societatea informaţională sau o bombă informaţională?
Information Society or Information Bomb?

Summary/Abstract: Information society can be defined from a technological, spatial, occupational, cultural or economic perspective. This is a society of technological, cultural, social and economic rapid change. But it is also a society that changes its purposes and ideals under the incentives of technologization and globalization via technology. Certain particular changes within the realm of information which are taking place in contemporary times induce significant consequences for society. A ”new class” can provide us with vocabularies for the social discourse of change, while creating new ideals for organising social affairs. Social capital gains a new virtual dimension. The Internet provided the means for an exacerbated development of investigation market methods and techniques which seems to come closer to a kind of totalitarian espionage. After the atom bomb, we are now facing the spectre of a second bomb: the information bomb, capable of using the interactivity of information to wreck the peace of mind for the individuals and maybe even the peace between nations.
