manufacturing-based to a service-
based economy.
Daniel Bell, an American sociologist, first
coined the term ‘post-industrial’ in 1973
in his book “The Coming of Post-
Industrial Society: A Venture in Social
Forecasting,” which describes several
features of this kind of society.
CHARACTERISTICS
1. a shift from the production of
goods to the production of
services;
2. the replacement of manual laborers
with technical and professional workers
(computer engineers, doctors, and
bankers) as the direct production of
goods is moved elsewhere;
3. the replacement of practical
knowledge with theoretical
knowledge;
4. focusing to the theoretical and ethical
implications of new technologies, which
helps society avoid some of the negative
features of introducing new
technologies, concerning environment
and energy;
5.the development of recent scientific
disciplines—that involve new forms of
information technology, cybernetics, or
artificial intelligence—to evaluate the
theoretical and ethical implications of
new technologies;
6.emphasis on the university and
polytechnic institutes which produce
graduates who innovate and lead the
new technologies contributing to a post
industrial society
7. the changing values and norms which
reflects the influences on the society.

In an instance, outsourcing of
manufactured goods changes how
members of a society see and treat
foreigners and immigrants.
