Network society

Network society is the set of social, political, economic, and cultural changes brought about by the widespread use of networked digital information and communication technologies.

The intellectual origins of the idea can be traced back to the work of early social theorists such as Georg Simmel who analyzed the effect of modernization and industrial capitalism on complex patterns of affiliation, organization, production and experience.
