Restarting the Information Society Based on Blockchain Technology

Social sciences literature claims that humanity is traversing a development stage generically called knowledge based informational society. It also anticipates another development horizon characterized by the explosion of artificial intelligence, corroborated with ever more spectacular development of information and communication technology. If we associate it with one of the most recent technologies dedicated mainly to information security – blockchain technology, we can certainly talk about a rebooting of informational society. Being itself a revolution, we will argue in this paper the level of influence blockchain has on business architectures, financial services, anti-plagiarism solutions, real estate transactions, economy, society, electoral processes and democracy as a whole. The ecosystem that supports all these transformations, developed and embedded in the global internet is IOT – Internet of Things.
