The theory of Alvin Toffler

Three types of communities based on the concept of Waves

Toffler, a futurist and author of America explains, "Society needs people who care for parents, know how to give affection and honest. Society needs people who work in hospitals. Society needs all kinds of expertise is not just cognitive; emotionally . you can not run society only with data and computers. "Toffler also states, in Rethinking the Future, that" the illiterate of the 21st century is not only experienced by those who can not read and write, but those who can not learn, forget, and relearn (learn, unlearn, relearn). "

In his idea Toffler describes three types of society based on the concept of Waves / 'wave'.

* Zero Wave (Agrarian) is a society that still adhered to the cultural survival for living, still rely heavily agrarian, nomadic nature.

* Second Wave (Industrial Revolution) is a society during the Industrial Revolution (around the late 1600s through the mid-1900s). The main components of the Second Wave nuclear family, factory-type education system and the corporation. Toffler writes: "The Second Wave Society is industrial and based on mass production, mass distribution, mass consumption, mass education, mass media, mass recreation, mass entertainment, and weapons of mass destruction. You combine those things with standardization, centralization, concentration, and synchronization, and emerged a style of organization we call bureaucracy. " Labour and Capital (Land) is required on this wave.

* Third Wave (Information Revolution) is a post-industrial society. Toffler would also add that since the late 1950s most countries are moving away from Second Wave Society into what he would call a Third Wave Society. He creates a lot of words to describe it and mentions names invented by him (super-industrial society) and others (such as in the Information Age, Space Age, Electronic Era, Global Village, technetronic age, scientific-revolution technology), which to varying degrees an estimated demassification, diversity, knowledge-based production, and the acceleration of change (one of the key principles Toffler is "change is non-linear and can go backwards, forwards and sideways"). Labour, Capital and Knowledge required at this level.
