"매 information 의 production · distribution · consumption 의 dominant economic activity 의 society". 매 Bell (1973) 의 post-industrial 의 prediction 의 Castells (1996) 의 network society 의 elaboration 의 2026 년 의 LLM 의 cognitive labor 의 partial automation 의 phase 의 entry. 매 attention economy + algorithmic curation + AI 의 mediation 의 defining traits.
매 핵심
매 phase
Industrial (1800-1970): 매 goods + capital.
Post-industrial (1970-2000): 매 service + knowledge worker.
Network society (2000-2020): 매 internet, platform, social media.
AI-mediated (2020-): 매 algorithmic curation + LLM 의 cognitive labor automation.
매 핵심 dynamics
Attention as scarce resource (Simon 1971).
Network effects — value ∝ users² (Metcalfe).
Power-law distribution — winner-take-most (rich-get-richer).
Surveillance capitalism (Zuboff 2019) — behavioral data 의 commodification.
매 응용 / 영향
Platform economy (Uber, Airbnb).
Filter bubble + algorithmic polarization.
Digital divide (access inequality).
AI-driven labor displacement (knowledge work).
Misinformation / generative content flood.

언제: 매 frame analysis, multi-perspective synthesis. 매 tech-policy intersection 의 explanation.
언제 X: 매 country-specific 의 latest stat 은 fact-check. 매 LLM 의 stale 의 risk.

Tech-determinist 의 simplification: 매 society shapes tech 의 too. 매 reciprocal.
Single-metric (GDP, DAU) 의 over-reliance: 매 well-being externality 의 miss.
AI = neutral 의 assumption: 매 X. 매 training data + deployment context 의 bias 의 carry.
