English abstract

In our Age of Information the term Information is one of the most used words. Some Information Scientists tried to find a common definition. PLOCHBERGER Franz (2012) tried to fix it in his “Informationscientific Axioms”. He used terms of Wolfgang HOFKIRCHNER or Raphael CAPURRO. After this the author started a new research impact: „Human Orientation (HO) of IT“. The aim of this research is to find out significant terms and to evaluate a scientifically usable paradigm under this surrounding topic. The orientation on human needs is necessary, because we have to make a difference between human cognitive information evolution (technological) and human biological evolution as species. In chapter 4 human abilities to manage Information will be showed. In the chapters 5 and 6 the author tries to find topics and permanent valid informationscientific terms for the usage of Information in a precious way for human beings in future (e.g. in a rising amount of Data (Big Data) or moving Data with electronical speed on worldwide spread networks). Information Science is not a narrow science, it touches Philosophy, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, Economy and System Sciences. These sciences contain all interesting theories. The actual trend is that the changings of new Information-instruments (Desktop, Laptop, Smartfone or Mobile Touch Screens) seem to fascinate and stimulate customers. If we don't try to find scientific backgrounds we get in dependence of some worldwide single IT-companies with commercial interests only. We have to ask: Do we know already the most important values in Information Science for future? Is it sure that Human Orientation of IT (HO) is able to surround the most precious parts of Information Science and to set a definitive orientation pointing to the human being? HO in general brings fix borders in orientation to human – but no restrictions in complexity to the machine side.
