Sometimes I find my self in a society in the middle of The Global Village and sometimes in a society in a little state with a large number of computers not speaking the language I usually talk. When a prevailing part of the population are working in one area the society is named after that area, allthough a lot of other things can characterize the society. The latest societies are:

  1. Agricultural society

  2. Industrial society

  3. Information society

The agricultural and industrial societies have come to an end. When a society comes to an end, it is usually because the efficiency of production reaches a level higher than necessary, to keep all the workers busy. Many of the workers are attracted to other kinds of work, which gives rise to the next culture.
