An information society is a society:
- where most of the knowledge and information is no longer stored in people's brains or books but on electronic media,
- where the information repositories are distributed, interconnected via an information infrastructure, and accessible from anywhere, and
- where social processes have become so dependent on this information and the information infrastructure that citizens who are not connected to this information system cannot fully participate in the functioning of the society.
