<P> Kasiwulaya and Gomo (Makerere University) allude that information societies are those that have intensified their use of IT for economic, social, cultural and political transformation . In 2005, governments reaffirmed their dedication to the foundations of the Information Society in the Tunis Commitment and outlined the basis for implementation and follow - up in the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society . In particular, the Tunis Agenda addresses the issues of financing of ICTs for development and Internet governance that could not be resolved in the first phase . </P> <P> Some people, such as Antonio Negri, characterize the information society as one in which people do immaterial labour . By this, they appear to refer to the production of knowledge or cultural artifacts . One problem with this model is that it ignores the material and essentially industrial basis of the society . However it does point to a problem for workers, namely how many creative people does this society need to function? For example, it may be that you only need a few star performers, rather than a plethora of non-celebrities, as the work of those performers can be easily distributed, forcing all secondary players to the bottom of the market . It is now common for publishers to promote only their best selling authors and to try to avoid the rest--even if they still sell steadily . Films are becoming more and more judged, in terms of distribution, by their first weekend's performance, in many cases cutting out opportunity for word - of - mouth development . </P> <P> Michael Buckland characterizes information in society in his book Information and Society . Buckland expresses the idea that information can be interpreted differently from person to person based on that individual's experiences . </P> <P> Considering that metaphors and technologies of information move forward in a reciprocal relationship, we can describe some societies (especially the Japanese society) as an information society because we think of it as such as letters . </P>
