Human Contacts in Knowledge Society: An Analytical Perspective

  • Chapter
Knowledge and Networks in a Dynamic Economy

Abstract

Supported by the highly advanced technologies of information/communication and transportation, the new knowledge society has been emerging. Newly developed transportation and communication technologies are diffused in the society, resulting in the rapid increase in the flexibility and the degree of freedom of human communication behaviours. The technological innovation of communications in the society does not only mean more rapid and efficient transmission of information and knowledge, it also expands the possibility of interactions of various types of activities in the spatially distant areas. The increased opportunity of communications in the society, greatly affecting the communication behaviours, brings about the structural evolution of social systems themselves.
