Inhaltsangabe: Abstract: The beginning of the 21st century with the fear of the "Year 2000"-threat (Y2K) became a milestone for the "Information Age", a term coined for the post-industrial stage of leading countries „[...] when information and information technologies become the main strategic national resource which results in an avalanche growth of information dependence in all spheres of society and state activities.".
