Question

Explain the changes that we see in the social

structure of the post-industrial society.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Post-industrialism and post-Fordism have a common feature of technological advancement and knowledge. These two factors in the long run transformed the industrial society to post-industrial society. Both post-industrial and post-Fordist accounts stress the role of knowledge and innovation in the organization of production, and the rise of ‘lead’ industries based upon breakthroughs in micro-electronics and information technologies.

The emphasis placed upon these technologies differs somewhat, but the common shared view is that knowledge lies behind both post-industrial and flexible futures. Giddens argues that the post-industrial society presents a new form of industry, which is powered by electricity rather than by coal or steam, and is based on micro-circuit machinery.

Before we discuss the impact of information technology on the post-industrial society, let us dwell a little on the (1) kinds of work that people do, and (2) the information technology which leads to post-industrial society.
