Talk:Informatization

Lead Paragraph
The lead paragraph used the word extent, which to me seems to be suggesting that Informatization is a measure of some kind, perhaps an economic indicator or index. But in the succeeding paragraphs it was defined as a process.

The lead paragraph, particularly the first sentence should capture both meanings if they are both valid. Anyone suggests a reformulation?

I think the word extent is too vague, if it is an index then it should be stated as such but I have not have enough research to say so. Do you think I make sense or am I just quibbling over terms?--Matangdilis (talk) 03:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Suggest a new section
You may want to suggest a new section here like digital divide and informatization.--Matangdilis (talk) 01:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Can I suggest that we include a section on "Globalizationa and Informatization"?.--Mat.espino
 * -Hi mat. that would be great would you be contributing the info on that? i wouldn't want to increase the number of empty sections if no one has secondary sources on it.--Matangdilis (talk) 11:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I will input it today. --Mat.espino —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mat.espino (talk • contribs) 04:48, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I have added a new section on the measurement of informatization, please comment if I read the source correctly. --Matangdilis (talk) 06:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi mat I have moved your text here because I am worried that an excerpt may have problems with copyright of the author. Would it be possible to rewrite this without an giving an excerpt? --Matangdilis (talk) 04:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Globalization and Informatization

Over the years, globalization and informatization have "redefined industries, politics, cultures, and perhaps the underlying rules of social order" (Friedman, 1999). Although they explain different phenomena, their social, political, economic, and cultural functions remarkably overlaps. "Although globalization ultimately refers to the integration of economic institutions, much of this integration occurs through the channels of technology. Although international trade is not a new phenomenon, the advent of communications technologies has accelerated the pace and scope of trade" (Kluver).

a) Globalization and Informatization will have great impact on cultural and social consequences of society. b) "Globalization and informatization are likely to diminish the concept of the national as a political institution" (Poster, 1999). Friedman (1999) argues that as nation states decline in importance, multi-national corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and "superempowered individuals" such as George Soros gain influence and importance. As these non-political organizations and institutions gain importance, there are inevitable challenges to political, economic, and cultural processes. c) On the other hand, globalization and informatization allow for efficient flow of information. Individuals and societies are, therefore, greatly empowered to engage in international arena for economic, political, and cultural resources. d) "There is proliferation of information about lifestyles, religions, and cultural issues.  The telecommunications and computer networks also allow for unprecedented global activism.  This democratization of information increases the potential for international harmony, although it by no means guarantees it" (Kluver). e) These twin forces greatly affects "centuries of tradition, local autonomy, and cultural integrity." f) "Finally, one of the potentially most devastating impact of the forces of globalization and informatization is that there is created an insidious conflict between the new global economic order and the local, or even tribal, interests" (Kluver). (Hi Matangdilis, hope the above summary is worth posting in the wiki. Thanks - Mat)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mat.espino (talk • contribs) 15:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

"Informatization" a non-existent word?
I would just like to put in a cautionary note that, as far as I can judge as a native English speaker, the word informatization has probably never been used in native English. It looks very ungainly in English. I suspect it is non-native English. UBJ 43X (talk) 19:52, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
