1. INFORMATION SOCIETY
Information society– theoretical concept of post-industrial society; the historical phase of the possible development of civilization, in which information and knowledge become the main products of production. Distinctive features:
increasing the role of information, knowledge and information technologies in the life of society;
an increase in the number of people employed in information technology, communications and the production of information products
And services in gross domestic product;
growing informatization of society using television
phony, radio, television, the Internet, as well as traditional
And electronic media;
creation of a global information space that provides:
o effective information interaction between people; o access to global information resources;
o meeting the needs of citizens for information products and services.
The information society is a modern stage in the development of civilization with the dominant role of knowledge and information, the impact of information and communication technologies on all spheres of human activity and society as a whole.
Several stages can be distinguished in the activities of government authorities in developing and implementing state policy in the field of development of the information society in Russia. The first (1991–1994) laid the foundations in the field of informatization. The second stage (1994–1998) was characterized by a change in priorities from informatization to the development of information policy. The third stage, which continues to this day, is the stage of policy formation in the field of building an information society. In 2002, the Government of the Russian Federation adopted the federal target program “Electronic Russia 2002–2010,” which gave a powerful impetus to the development of the information society in Russian regions.
A special role in teaching computer literacy and mastering the latest information technologies is given to computer science, which since 1985 has been studied in all secondary schools in the country and since 1991 in
all higher educational institutions of Russia. Since 2007, all secondary schools in Russia have been connected to the global Internet and equipped with basic program packages for mastering computer literacy and the latest information technologies, using proprietary and open source software. Within the framework of the Priority National Project “Education”, open domestic software is being introduced and computer-legal education is being organized in universities and schools.
1.1. Society Information Levels
There are three levels of informatization of society:
Physical – software and hardware of computer technology and communications technology.
Logical – information technology.
Application – user application systems.
1.2. Stages of transition to the information society
The transition to the information society is carried out in stages.
Computerization.
Development of the region's information infrastructure.
Satisfying the basic information needs of the population
Electronic government (e-government) – method of providing
collection of information and provision of an already formed set of public services to citizens, businesses, other branches of government and government officials, in which personal interaction between the state and the applicant is minimized and information technologies are used as much as possible.
E-commerce(e-commerce) is the sphere of digital eco-
nomics, which includes all financial and trade transactions carried out using computer networks, and the business processes associated with such transactions. This includes:
electronic information exchange (Electronis Data Interchange, EDI);
electronic capital movement (Electronic Funds Transfer, EFS);
electronic commerce (E-Trade);
electronic money (E-Cash);
electronic marketing (E-Marketing);
electronic banking (E-Banking);
electronic insurance services (E-Insurance).
1.3. Types of e-commerce
B2B, or business-to-business scheme. The principle of such interaction is very simple: an enterprise trades with another enterprise. B2B is one of the most promising and actively developing areas of e-commerce today. Internet platforms make it possible to significantly simplify transactions at all stages and make trade more efficient and transparent. Often in such cases, a representative of the customer side has the ability to interactively control the order fulfillment process by working with the seller’s databases.
B2C, or business-to-consumer scheme. In this case, the company trades directly with the client (not a legal entity, but an individual). As a rule, we are talking about retail sales of goods. This method of carrying out a commercial transaction allows the client to simplify and speed up the purchase procedure. Examples of this type of trade are traditionalonline stores,aimed at the target group of direct consumers of goods.
C2C scheme, or consumer-to-consumer. This method is used
E-commerce involves transactions between two consumers, neither of whom is an entrepreneur in the legal sense of the word. Online platforms for such trading are something between a push market and an advertisement column in a newspaper. As a rule, C2C commerce is carried out on online auction sites, which are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. For clients of such systems, the main convenience lies in the slightly lower price of the product compared to its cost in stores.
The textbook examines the classification, purpose, components, structure of information technology, technical means of modern information systems, the concepts of local and global computer networks, principles of operation, basic protocols, software and equipment for building networks, the world information network Internet is considered, its characteristics are given, basic services, the basics of information retrieval, as well as the main programming languages for creating web pages. The structure of monetary payments on the Internet and the structure of the market for information resources, as well as information security in computer networks, are described. The textbook is intended for full-time and part-time students of universities of communications and computer science in the field of “Telecommunications” and economic, engineering and technical workers.
Stages of information technology development.
Evolutionary development can be represented in five stages: Stage 1 (until the second half of the 19th century) – “manual” information technology, the tools of which were: a pen, an inkwell, a book. Communications were carried out manually by transmitting letters, packages, and dispatches via mail. The main goal of technology is to present information in the required form.
Stage 2 (from the end of the 19th century) - “mechanical” technology, the tools of which included: a typewriter, a telephone, a voice recorder, and mail equipped with more advanced means of delivery. The main goal of technology is to present information in the required form using more convenient means.
Stage 3 (40s – 60s of the XX century) – “electrical” technology, the tools of which included: mainframe computers and corresponding software, electric typewriters, copiers, portable voice recorders. The purpose of technology changes. The emphasis in information technology begins to shift from the form of information presentation to the formation of its content.

Information technology – a process that uses a set of means and methods for collecting, processing and transmitting data to obtain new quality information about the state of an object, process or phenomenon.
Modern development of society leads to an increase in the volume and complexity of tasks solved in the field of production organization, planning and analysis processes, financial work, relations with suppliers and consumers of products, the operational management of which is impossible without the organization of modern automated information technology
The term “technology” (from the Greek techne - art, skill, skill) in the industrial sense is understood as a set of methods of processing, manufacturing, changing the state, properties, form of raw materials, materials or semi-finished products carried out in the production process. In a broad sense of interpretation of this concept, the term “technology” implies the production of material goods, which includes the following three components:
The unity of the concepts “technology” and “information technology” lies, first of all, in the fact that the basis of both lies process, which is understood as a certain set of actions aimed at achieving a set goal. Moreover, any technological process must be determined by the strategy chosen by a person and implemented using a combination of various methods and means.
Using information technology methods are methods of processing and transmitting information.
Information technology tools - These are technical, software, information and other means by which information technology is implemented at an economic facility.
A comparison of material production technology and information technology is given in Table. 1.1.

General comparison of information and production technologies
The fundamental difference between information technology and the technology of material production is that in the first case the technology cannot be continuous, since it combines work of a routine type (analysis, operational accounting) and creative work, which is not yet amenable to formalization (managerial decision making) . In the second case, the production function is continuous and reflects the strict sequence of all operations for the production of products (technological production process). Technological concepts used in the production sphere (norm, standard, etc.) can currently be extended only to the simplest, routine operations on information.
