⦁How information society influences consumer individual consumption method?Information and technology are all around us.we'll talk about what some scholars have called the information society, or a profound shift in society and the economy wherein the circulation of information is key to productivity.How much time do you spend on your phone or your computer? Have you noticed how quickly you can communicate with people across the globe? While we might take these things for granted today, they are part of a profound shift in the way that society, culture, and the economy operate. Known as the information society, we have seen a major shift whereby the circulation and production of information is a key social and economic activity. Things like Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as the internet, cell phones, and wireless networks, are key to the functioning of our society. Scholars of the information society have called this a shift from manual labor to mental labor, in the sense that the primary form of production in the economy has shifted from goods-based to knowledge-based. In other words, instead of a focus on the production of a particular good, such as steel, the most important economic activity comes in the form of producing information, like computer technologies and software. This information replaces material goods as the most important driving force of economic activity. Let's talk more about the origins of this term. ⦁The background of information society developmentOne of the earliest uses of the term, information society can be found in the work of sociologist Daniel Bell. In the 1970s he wrote a book called The Coming of the Post-Industrial Society, where he argued that the United States was moving away from an industrial society to a post-industrial society.

In economist's argument, the main economic activities of society will be that we produce various types of knowledge instead of consumer goods, as we did during the industrial heyday. Production has shifted away from factories in the information society . The network society is characterized by profound shifts in technological development and innovation. Economies and production within them are now flexible. This has led to a global economy that is highly informational. One major shift here is the way that internet technology allows us to work and communicate in real time and at dizzying speeds. For example, let's say Johnny this staff office is based in New York City, but she has clients in Tokyo and Paris. In the information age, Mary and her co-workers across the globe can communicate almost instantly without ever leaving their offices. ⦁How information social change influences consumer behaviors?Consumer Behaviour means that the consumer is the KING of the market is the one that dominates the market and the market trends. A consumer is someone who pays a sum to consume the goods and services sold by an organization. The consumer plays a very important role in the demand and supply chain of every economic system of every nation. The producers of the goods and services would lack the motive of producing as there would be no demand for their products.What is consumer role in traditional society ?A consumer need not just be an individual; a consumer can also be an organization. A consumer can be someone who will buy either goods or services or you can also specify the goods and services as economic services or products, or good or commodities. A consumer is the end user or a target to whom the goods and services are sold. In simple words a consumer can be described as:
