The general idea of an "information economy" includes both the notion of industries <br />primarily producing, processing, and distributing information, as well as the idea that every industry is <br />using available information and information technology to reorganize and make themselves more <br />productive. <br />For the purpose of developing NAICS, it is the transformation of information into a commodity that is <br />produced and distributed by a number of growing industries that is at issue. The Information sector <br />groups three types of establishments: (1) those engaged in producing and distributing information and <br />cultural products; (2) those that provide the means to transmit or distribute these products as well as data <br />or communications; and (3) those that process data. Cultural products are those that directly express <br />attitudes, opinions, ideas, values, and artistic creativity; provide entertainment; or offer information and <br />analysis concerning the past and present. Included in this definition are popular, mass - produced, <br />products as well as cultural products that normally have a more limited audience, such as poetry books, <br />literary magazines, or classical records. <br />Cabarrus Economic Development 3003 Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, Kannapolis, NC 28083 USA <br />704.782.4000 1 CabarrusEDC.com I Face Book.com /CabarrusEDC I Twitter.com /CabarrusEDC <br />INTERNATIONALECONOA C <br />/���� / ^ /�J /ADDEEEWLLOPMENT COUNCIL <br />Altaalefl �dd�A# DAi W iyAo¢rtiw� <br />1 -1 Page 487 <br />
