the article describes a dual impact of digital revolution on various spheres of human activity and social relations, such as administration, education, science, health, ecology, finance, and trade, and income differentiation, monopolization of the markets, "consumerism" and creative abilities of human development. The work presents the advantages and disadvantages of information revolution implications. Production relations in the single information space (based on cloud technology, Big Data, information openness, and social networks) are opposed to the deepened digital divide. New opportunities for the development of education, science, health, and environmental sustainability are opposed to innovation inequality and deepened environmental imbalance. Information technologies helped improving the efficiency of the activities in the financial sector, but the gap between the financial and the real sectors of the economy increased. The level of organization rose significantly due to the continuity of decision-making and communications, while at the same time the introduction of information technologies increased the bureaucracy. Stiff competition of information companies is combined with the risk of global monopoly. On the one hand, the information revolution gave broad opportunities for developing creative activities; while on the other hand, it has led to the loss of Internet users' social mobility.
The paper is devoted to the study of the prospects for developing agriculture on the basis of the information revolution. The paper presents a number of reasons showing the increasing role of food production. The dynamics of the information technology sector is presented and new trends in the development of agriculture on the basis of the spreading cloud technologies and prioritized open information systems are highlighted, the formation of the Internet of Everything with Big Data, and the formation of relations for joint production and consumption of information. The paper substantiates the possibility of development of innovative processes in the agricultural sector due to the information technology, primarily on the basis of strengthening the interaction between the state, business, and science. The authors suggest the ways of improving management in the sectors of agriculture through modern information systems and the expanding basis for strategic planning, increasing the dynamics managerial decision making, which is necessary for the industries working with perishable products. The paper discusses the possibilities of reducing the cost of agricultural products with the help of information technology on the basis of the substitutional impact of the digital resource through the use of e-Commerce, e-advertising, and the use of mobile apps. The necessity of innovative digital policy in the agricultural sector, serving the promotion of digital technologies in rural areas, is substantiated. The role of the complementary nature of the information resource in the development of the agricultural sector is shown conceptually.
The article discusses the foreign experience of the leading countries in the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Japan and Korea. These countries are of the same region with similar economic models that have traveled at different times and with varying degrees of success from an agrarian country to an industrial power, where a significant number of high-tech industries are developing. The basis for the introduction of digital technologies was the National Innovation Systems, that include a community of the following institutions: government, business and the academic sector. Despite different starting conditions, ICT policies in Japan and Korea in the 2000s had the same priorities in narrowing the digital divide within the country and in comparison, with other countries, providing every citizen with access to high-speed broadband and using ICT to solve the country's socio-economic problems. The global economic situation after the global financial crisis, regional competition, domestic problems, as well as the emergence of promising technologies are pushing both countries -Japan and the Republic of Korea -to seek new opportunities to increase their competitiveness in the global digital economy. This process is based not only on technological activity but also on the development and implementation of institutional and structural reforms, aimed at improving conditions for the creation, dissemination and effective use of digital technologies within the country. The experience of these countries seems significant for Russia for further cooperation in creating a single digital space in East Asia.
