Definition

The phrase Information Society is used to describe a society whose main means of production is based on information vs. an industrial society whose main means of production of value is based on machine.

"If the goal of industrial society is represented by volume consumption of durable consumer goods or realization of heavy mass consumption centering around motorization, (an) information society my be termed as a society with highly intellectual creativity where people may draw future designs on an invisible canvas and pursue and realize lives worth living”. -Yoneji Masuda, author of The Information Society as Post-Industrial Society.

Masuda is regarded as one of the first persons discussing the arrival of the information society in the early 1980's.
