Impactul utilizării tehnologiei informațiilor și comunicațiilor asupra vieții cotidiene

Abstract

Since ancient times, networks have provided opportunities for development and innovation and provided structures for the economic and social system. The road networks and aqueducts of the Roman Empire, the continental railway system of the nineteenth century, the satellite and telecommunications networks of the twentieth century allowed mankind to overcome the barriers of space and time, to access and open new frontiers for human interaction and ingenuity. At present, in the first years of the third millennium, it has become obvious that ,,information infrastructure” can have an impact as great, if not more important, on world economic and social structures than previous networks. All the discoveries in the field of technology in recent years and their integration into daily work change communities into information structures, in which the volume of information and knowledge becomes an important and necessary resource for carrying out basic activities. ICT innovations have already transformed our society in many ways, including: the way we represent the community in which we live; interpersonal and inter-community relations and the ways in which we can have a variety of services, starting with education and medical care, to entertainment and trade shows.
