Interconnection of Development Stages of Information Technologies and Economy
SLAVIN Boris Borisovich
The article analyzes interconnection between stages of IT development and these of economic development of the society. The author has shown that stages of social development (industrial / postindustrial / information / knowledge society) may be used to classify management technologies (insourcing, outsourcing, crowdsourcing and noosourcing) and managed assets (resources, services, information and knowledge). Economic industries can be combined by technologies and managed assets, thus allowing to compare the respective information technologies. With analysis provided, one can more clearly position the role of IT in the organization depending on the management technologies it employs, and measure IT use maturity.
Keywords: Information technologies, information society, knowledge society, management technologies, managed assets, economic industries.
Humanitarian Technologies in the Information War Context
ALEXEEVA Irina Yuryevna
Manipulation-based socio-humanitarian technologies are widely used in the context of modern information wars. E-culture opens floodgates to activation of archaic worldview and behavior programs. The consciousness slides down from the level of systems thinking achieved by the mankind in the middle of the 20th century to the level of image association thinking that is relieved of the urge to understand the essence of phenomena in question. Shaping of modern meta culture of self-consciousness of the society requires development of non-manipulative technologies of consent that efficiently use electronic communication capabilities to improve situation in real world.
Keywords: Humanitarian technologies , e-culture, information war, archaization of consciousness, intelligent sovereignty, meta culture of self-consciousness, non-manipulative technologies, technologies of consent.
