Sociedad de la información y del conocimiento: personas, tecnología y cambio social

Human kind has always transferred, stored and disseminated information, which makes it certain that the information society is a feature of human society. Recent changes are due to incorporating new technology into handling information. There is no longer the separation that there has always been between a stage of learning and a stage of working. Since information quickly expires, knowing how to obtain the right information is more important than accumulating it. These changes also have to include the fact that people are increasingly receiving information through audiovisual, rather than written, means. This brings with it changes in the ways of including, understanding and producing information.
