Knowledge society
A knowledge society generates, processes, shares and makes available to all members of the society knowledge that may be used to improve the human condition. A knowledge society differs from an information society in that the former serves to transform information into resources that allow society to take effective action while the latter only creates and disseminates the raw data.〔Castelfranchi, C. (2007). Six critical remarks on science and the construction of the knowledge society. ''Journal of Science Communication, 6''(4), 1-3.〕 The capacity to gather and analyze information has existed throughout human history. However, the idea of the present-day knowledge society is based on the vast increase in data creation and information dissemination that results from the innovation of information technologies.〔Vallima, J. & Hoffman, D. (2008). Knowledge society discourse and higher education. ''Higher Education, 56''(3), 265-285.〕 The UNESCO World Report addresses the definition, content and future of knowledge societies.〔United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (2005). Toward knowledge societies. ''UNESCO World Report''. Conde-sur-Noireau, France: Imprimerie Corlet.〕
== Information and communication technology ==
The growth of Information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly increased the world’s capacity for creation of raw data and the speed at which it is produced. The advent of the internet delivered unheard of quantities of information to people. The evolution of the internet from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 offered individuals tools to connect with each other worldwide as well as become content users and producers. Innovation in digital technologies and mobile devices offers individuals a means to connect anywhere anytime where digital technologies are accessible. Tools of ICT have the potential to transform education, training, employment and access to life-sustaining resources for all members of society.〔van Weert, T. J. (2006). Education of the twenty-first century: New professionalism in lifelong learning, knowledge development and knowledge sharing. ''Education and Information Technologies, 11''(3), 217-237.〕
However, this capacity for individuals to produce and use data on a global scale does not necessarily result in knowledge creation. Contemporary media delivers seemingly endless amounts of information and yet, the information alone does not create knowledge.
For knowledge creation to take place, reflection is required to create awareness, meaning and understanding. The improvement of human circumstances requires critical analysis of information to develop the knowledge that assists humankind.〔Absent reflection and critical thinking, information can actually become “non-knowledge”, that which is false or inaccurate〔Innerarity, D. (2012). Power and knowledge: The politics of the knowledge society, ''European Journal of Social Theory, 16''(1), 3-16.〕 The anticipated Semantic Web 3.0 and Ubiquitous Web 4.0 will move both information and knowledge creation forward in their capacities to use intelligence to digitally create meaning independent of user-driven ICT.〔Harvey, P.L. (2010). Applying social systems thinking and community informatics thinking in education. In Rudestam, K.E., & Schoenholtz-Read, J. (Eds.), 91-128. ''Handbook of online learning''.
