Information Society and the Virtual Labour

One of the current prevailing concepts in general system theory since the last decade of the twentieth century is the concept of labour in the context of a knowledge society, in which work is becoming more virtual as a direct result of continuous scientific development through the use of internet software and social networks. The present piece attempts to emphasise the relationship and complementarity between a number of key surrounding notions and the new concept of labour. It also attempts to identify the causes for emergence in such situations, as well as to highlight the need of learning such concepts at both the theoretical and practical levels, in order to suggest a rational structure of new societies with a lower proportion of social and economic corruption.
