“…There is consensus though in relating this one to the computer, that is to say, to the possibilities of microelectronics and thus information technology to automate production processes [1,2], but still its scope delimitation is unclear. There are those like Bell, who place it at the end of the 1960s with the arrival of computers [3] while others place it at the beginning of the Internet in 1989 [4]. There are even those who see the digital age -which beginning can be defined not with the appearance of microcontrollers nor internet but as the moment in which more information is communicated digitally (1993) or more data is recorded digitally than analogically (2002) -as a second stage of the third revolution, and not as a transformation of its own.…”

The term fourth industrial revolution is a notion used with increasing frequency, especially when it comes to descriptions of contemporary technological and economic developments. However, the term contains a problematic aspect: it does not have one unique definition, but several, and these vary to such an extent that we even find various opposing positions. The lack of definition extends not only to the mention of the following revolutions, but even to the previous one. The causes of this variation can be found both in the speed of current technological development and its effects, and in the complexity of the notions of revolution and particularly of industry. The latter is a concept in which, among others, economic criteria, production logics, social structures and even cultural processes converge. Faced with this breadth of disciplinary fields, and in order to adequately describe and understand contemporary socio-technological processes, it becomes evident that it is necessary to review the definitions of current industrial revolutions and paradigms from a multidisciplinary approach.In this article, we present an investigation on the notions of industrial revolution from a cultural and phenomenological perspective, in order to detect the links between technological developments and their cultural perception. The goal will not be to propose new definitions, but rather to understand the processes behind their set up. The notions of philosophy of technology, as well as theory of media and culture, seek to help understand the diversity and lack of definition of these denominations as a natural and perhaps insurmountable phenomenon.

“…The sociological point of reference of this model is the metaphor of the digital information society as a society, in which purpose‐oriented knowledge and the new information technology as the means of its supply possesses great significance (Steinbicker, 2001; Webster, 2002). In public perception, the transition to this stage is particularly connected with the rapidly increasing number of internet users.…”

PurposeCreating network security is a crucial challenge not only in the area of electronic government, but also for the information society in general. The purpose of this paper is to show that the related problems cannot be tackled successfully by technical measures alone. More wide and encompassing solutions are required.Design/methodology/approachThis paper deals with the character, preconditions and implications of network security from a managerial point of view in order to identify the starting‐points for a sustainable promotion of network security in the area of electronic government.FindingsThis paper shows that the suitable starting‐point for the development of security solutions within a social unit like a public authority and in the society altogether is viewing the problem as a socio‐technical task. A rational design of security processes is required promoted by an effective security management, which in its turn is rooted in an appropriate security culture.Originality/valueThis paper addresses the problems of network security in the area of electronic government from a comprehensive point of view and offers a basic strategy to deal with them.

“…Entscheidungsmacht verkörpert sich vor allem in der Gestalt des Experten, der paradigmatisch für moderne Wissensgesellschaften und postindustrieller Ökonomien ist. In der postkapitalistischen Wissensgesellschaft Peter Druckers und bei Helmut Willke bilden die »Wissensarbeiter« (Steinbicker 2001: 38 f., Willke 2002 Weitere 20 % seien von der Wissensgesellschaft »überfordert«, während ein weites Feld von 60 % in Bezug auf die Qualifikation differenziert sei, in dem es wesentlich auf die Möglichkeit und Fähigkeit des Einzelnen, sich weiterzubilden, ankäme (ebd.). Daran schließt die Frage an, ob bzw.…”
