La disponibilidad de información con bajo costo relativo, en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar, ha propiciado que se identifique a la actual sociedad como &#8220;sociedad de la información&#8221;, la cual está evolucionando hacia la &#8220;sociedad del conocimiento&#8221;. Este es y será, tal vez uno de los fenómenos más importantes y de mayor impacto en las décadas por venir. En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados de un estudio sobre la evolución de las tecnologías de la información que dieron origen y propiciaron el fenómeno de la globalización económica. La prospectiva indica que en algunas décadas se dará la convergencia absoluta de las TI&#8217;s. De esta manera, parece muy probable que el continuo avance de tres tecnologías fundamentales, los dispositivos semiconductores (S), los sistemas de cómputo (C) y de los protocolos de comunicaciones (P), con sus diferentes impactos, transformará definitivamente la vida del ser humano, sus organizaciones y sus sociedades. El fenómeno plantea la problemática y la necesidad de generar un sistema de adaptación individual y colectiva que sea capaz de responder adecuadamente ante la dinámica de los cambios.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Several works indicate that the technological innovation dynamics has grown exponentially during the last fifty years, apparently driven by the substantially continuous advances in the information technology (IT). The low cost in formation availability in any place, and in any moment, has propitiated the identification of the actual society as the &#8220;information society&#8221;, which in turn has been trans formed to the &#8220;knowledge society&#8221;. This will may be the most important and major impacting phenome non in the following decades. In this work, we present preliminary results of an IT evolutionary study, supporting the fact that they gave origin and actually support the economic globalisation process. In such a way, it seems very probably that the continuous advancement of three fundamental information technology types, semiconductor devices (S), Computer Systems (C), and Communication protocols (P), with their different impacts will definitively trans form human being life, its organizations and societies. Finally, the problem of the need of an adaptation system for adequate individual and collective response in front of the dynamic changes is ad dressed.]]></p></abstract>
