What is meant by an information society is dependent on the speaker and the adopted viewpoint. Social progress changes production, working life, education, dissemination channels, consumption habits and everyday life. The critical attribute of an information society is that information and information and communications technology are exploited as widely as possible, for example to improve competitiveness and promote well-being.
For a number of years now Statistics Finland has been describing evolvement of the information society in Finland. Compilations have been published on the topic and annual statistics are produced on the use of information and communications technology.
