THE POLICY MODEL FOR THE INFORMATION SOCIET OF BRAZIL

Abstract

Developing countries have committed to participate in the Information Society, recognizing its importance for the economical, social and political development of a nation. This article analyzed the Political Model of Brazilian Information Society Program - SocInfo, that had sharply initiated in the beginning of this century. The implementation of the Program had advances and setbacks, such as the low political articulation, being justified due to the effervescence provoked for the strong presence of ICT, leading the discovery of new ways of life. It is demonstrated that the appropriate information use is a key piece for citizens to be un active agent inside the Information Society. It is confirmed that internet in 21st Century turned to be the most important feature in the contemporary society, and the Web ends up making the rights achievement, when to citizen is permitted to access the offered services by the marked, government, such as education, health, communication, and safety. We can affirm that the matter of substance is the employment of the ones who are more or less on the margins of a Postmodern Society, once they stayed out of this process, in certain way, they are willing to change the course of ICT, and to modulate the innovation. From now on, having wealth and services will not be more important then the feelings of a more collective rights, such as sustainability of environment, that receives power with the support of social networks.
