Abstract

Information Society (IS) may be taken as a geopolitical organization which started at Third Industrial Revolution, having direct impact on use of information and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The expression appeared as techno-social paradigm change in post-industrial society, aiming to use information as currency to the society-in-progress at that time. It has gained strenght in Brazil since the release of Program Information Society in Brazil's Green Book by Ministry for Science and Technology, at Septemper 2000, occasion in which there was no discussion with civil society to formulate the main document. Our main goal is to discuss IS at modern times, and ordinate, sentient use of information, aiming to gather key-concepts to a better understanding of it. Via bibliographical and documental research, we recall its main concepts, from topics such as digital inclusion-exclusion to use of digital informational resources.
