Abstract

The world is currently undergoing an unparalleled technological transformation that is reshaping the dynamics of how individuals, families and societies operate within a digital environment. The swift progression of data-driven technology has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of all social and human activities through the prevalence of “big data”. This widespread utilisation of “big data” extends beyond a mere transformation of knowledge traditions; it has effectively metamorphosed society into a “data-driven society”, where “data” emerges as the new currency governing social communication, decision-making, innovation and social interactions. This chapter delves into the evolution, impacts and constraints of the “data society”, shedding light on its transformative journey. Furthermore, it underscores the significance of the knowledge traditions intricately linked with the “data society”. Through a comprehensive exploration, this chapter provides insights into the complex dimensions of this contemporary phenomenon, navigating through the intricate interplay between technology, societal structures and limits of “data society”.
