Similar to the post information society, that we have a post-information society when the preponderance of occupations is smart work. The occupational element-posits that we have achieved an information society when the preponderance of occupations are found in information work. China has also had its say here by declaring the Made in China 2025 Strategy, which was declared in May 2015.

In 2016, South Korea similarly adopted a Growth Strategy which aims at re-thinking the Korean industrial strategies and focusing on the fields of AI, the internet of things, smart cars, and medicine. In 2015, France adopted the Industry of the Future Strategy, which is a plan that would help re-industrialise France through focusing on smart technology, notably in the area of smart cities, transportation, medicine, and huge data. Japan adopted an Internet of Things Strategy, with the aim of maintaining its leading position in relation to competitors. Britain adopted the Energy and Industrial Strategy 2050. Similarly, Germany launched the New High-Tech Strategy (2020), which focuses on turning innovative ideas in the field of technology into real-life applications. The Obama administration then adopted the slogan “US Re-industrialisation” with the aim of providing jobs in the industry sector. In 2011, for instance, (former) US President Barack Obama launched the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Initiative to secure US leadership in the area of industry and enhance US ability to compete in the field of new technology globally. Therefore, information would turn into a task in its own right and humanity would move from the information phase to the post-information phase. Administration systems would also become all the more decentralised, thanks to the block chain technology. The internet of things would offer humans services that anticipate their needs. In a similar vein, instead of being instructed, robots would autonomously analyse and process the information received by sensors implanted everywhere and then make their own decisions. For example, instead of using Google Maps, as is the case in the information society, a member of the post-information society would simply use a self-driving car or even a drone. So, if these previous technologies, which are the spark of the third industrial revolution, impact the social world, the smart technologies of the fourth industrial revolution also deeply impact the social world. Webster suggests that such a volume of technological innovation must lead to a reconstitution of the social world because its impact is so profound. These technologies include: cable and satellite television, video games, personal computers, online information services, laptops, computer-to-computer communication, the world wide web and smart phones. The technological element-Webster argued that the new technologies which appeared since the late 1970’s have been taken to signal the information society.
