What are the key characteristics of an information society, and how has the internet transformed communication and access to information?

An information society is one where the creation, distribution, and manipulation of information becomes the most significant economic and cultural activity. In such a society, information is treated as a key commodity, and the development of communication technologies is at the heart of economic growth and social interaction. The rise of digital media and, more specifically, the internet has dramatically reshaped how people communicate, access, and interact with information. Within the framework of "Development Through Digital Media," understanding the characteristics of an information society and the transformative power of the internet is vital to comprehend contemporary global progress.

### Key Characteristics of an Information Society

1. Centrality of Information and Knowledge  
   In an information society, knowledge and data are not just support tools for industries but are themselves prime economic resources. Economic productivity depends on the capacity to generate, process, and apply information effectively. Intellectual capital becomes as valuable as physical assets. The rapid growth of sectors like software, data analytics, digital marketing, and online education illustrates this shift.

2. Technology-Driven Infrastructure  
   An information society heavily relies on advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs). These technologies—especially computers, smartphones, the internet, and cloud services—are the foundation for connecting individuals and institutions across time and space.
