It is certain that the world history is living one of its most transcendental moments. It is a stage in which the technological advances are more and more speedy, and the value that technology acquires is extraordinary. In fact, it is such it's importance that there has been some who compare it with what supposed the electricity in the industrial era. In this technological peak the New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT's) suppose and impose an unprecedented transformation in all the environments of the human activity, since they have brought unquestionable production possibilities, emission and access to plural information. However, new forms of social exclusión have arisen to people's groups that, for diverse reasons, they don't use information in a beneficiary way. The article identifies and analyzes the essential features of the new communicative environment emerged with the NICT's, which foster the omnipresence and instantaneity of information and, at the same time, inequality and disorientation.

Palabras clave : Information Society; New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT's).
