The Impact of Internet on the Information Society
Aksamitová, Magda ; Pavlíček, Antonín (advisor) ; Kašparová, Eva (referee)
This paper is based on the spatial theory of information society, more precisely on the work of S. Sassen and M. Castells. This theory is introduced in the first part of this paper. The main goal of the work is to perform statistical analyses of empirical data, which are mostly from international institutions, for each region and in this way to examine the universal validity of hypotheses about the impact of the internet on the economic performance, as well as spatial transformation. While in all regions the correlation between internet and GDP per capita was proved, the hypothesis connected with spatial transformation was not proved. Because of this is has been suggested to further examine the reasons behind the transformation of urban structure in the information society.
