Özet: Today we are living in what is called an ‘information age’ where we are able to work anywhere that a computer can be plugged into a phone line, to send information to lots of people, and letters all around the world, and to watch any film or programme at any time in an instant by internet. Mostly these functions consist of being able to access additional information. Indeed, we say we are living in ‘information age’ however, does everyone get its benefit democratically in our societies? Regarding to this question, the main argument in this study revolves around the term of ‘information society’ and its concealment of hierarchies and differences in our societies. The study begins with a brief introduction of information society. The main part of study then tries to show dimensions of ‘information society’ and ways of using information through individuals and in the changing patterns of employment, and global market. In order to understand these dimensions of information society, I have posed some examples. The object is to find answers with some detailed theoretical and conceptual analysis employed.
