More Ethics
Moreover, the values of informationalism...
(called that because they emerge
from the new networked economy wherein 1) information is the primary unit
of exchange and 2) information must flow as freely and quickly as possible)
...become values truly ethical values, or at
least substitutes for what had been ethical values in society.
-
Money and
work are still valued, but money becomes more important than work - a change
from PWE.
-
The goal
of stability is substituted for the former goals of justice and peace
-
By becoming
the loci of units of information (or processors), people cease to be ends
in themselves.
-
Rather,
any value a person has comes to be found exclusively in their place in
the network.
-
It's not
what you know, but who you know and/or how what you know fits into the
total system.
This constitutes
a fundamental change in what it means to be human.
