Concepts of information society and the social function of information
pp. 37-51
Abstract
At no point in time was society able to forecast radical structural change or even to observe such a change comprehensively. The invention of writing, the alphabet or the printing press were hardly noticed and their impact on the reconstruction was not assessed anywhere near correctly. At any rate, contemporaries were unable to diagnose the significance of the event concerned correctly or to forecast the implications of a structural revolution of society as a whole.
