尽管全球化和所谓的技术趋同，但各社会在技术采用和适应的形式、方式和速度方面仍然存在很大差异。在本文中，我通过考虑技术对生产和消费的不同影响来研究信息社会的概念问题，并分析社会空间因素，如城市形态、消费者偏好和文化属性如何塑造信息时代技术采用的模式。本文以美国和日本为例，展示了各自消费者采用技术的独特轨迹。特别是日本零售业参与电子商务的实践，以及目前通过移动电话接入的无线网络的普及，以更好地了解技术进步和消费的过程。
Despite globalization and alleged technological convergence, there remains great variation in the form, manner, and speed of technological adoption and adaptation across societies. In this paper I examine conceptual problems of the information society by considering the differential impacts of technology on production and consumption, and analyzing how sociospatial factors, such as urban form, consumer preference, and cultural attributes shape the patterns of technological adoption in the information age. Examples are drawn from the United States and Japan, to showcase distinctive trajectories of technological adoption by their respective consumers. In particular, practices in Japan's retail sector in participating E-commerce, and the present popularity of wireless web via cellular telephone access are examined to understand better the process of technological progress and consumption.
