The post-information society constitutes a knowledge-based joint cognitive system capable of satisfying the needs of modern society and, moreover, it's strongly characterized by interactive development and by individual-level capacity.
Data can be collected to create information, a widespread asset that can be gathered, organized, and disseminated all over the world.
We are the post-information society because we recognize information as "something" complementing traditional resources.

The ability to possess, distribute, and utilize information constitutes the so-called knowledge-based industry, where people are committed to work with information.
In today's global economy, time, space and distances take on a different dimension. Everyone is associated with information and events and, furthermore, as technology keeps evolving their knowledge is extended to the point where machines and people can communicate easier and easier.
