The development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has significant economic and social impacts at both the global and regional level. Some of these implications have been perceived as positive and unexpected. While both the positive and negative social and economic impacts have been highlighted in the literature, opinions on these impacts remain ambiguous. Those aspects considered to be advantageous include faster communication, ease of use, development in the range of services and revenues, and an increase in individuals’ free time allowance. ICT penetrates all branches of the economy as a set of general purpose technologies. New information and communication technologies ease everyday life, serve as tools to help people in extreme situations, e.g. accidents, illnesses or natural disasters, and are also the pillars of contemporary entertainment media. The usefulness of ICT has been stressed and loudly disseminated to a large extent by the media. On the other hand, these new technologies sensitize society in quite new ways to the well-known natural hazards that people have encountered in the past.

Wdrażanie technologii społeczeństwa informacyjnego w gospodarce, poprzez ograniczenie czasu operacji oraz kosztów materiałów i energii, ma służyć wzrostowi produktywności i wydajności. Rośnie popyt na taniejące w ostatnim czasie produkty i urządzenia technologii informacyjnych i komunikacyjnych (TIK) – zainteresowane nimi są zarówno firmy, jak i odbiorcy indywidualni. Stosowanie technologii informacyjnych i komunikacyjnych w gospodarce sprzyja powstawaniu rozlicznych innowacyjnych przedsięwzięć. Ich wpływ na gospodarkę Polski, obok pozytywnych skutków kulturowych i edukacyjnych, jest analogiczny do znanego i opisywanego w literaturze efektu odbicia, który w rezultacie powoduje zwiększenie wykorzystania zasobów wtórnych nośników energii i zużycia energii elektrycznej.

Information Society technologies are aimed at raising productivity while reducing time and costs of materials and energy for the economy. Specialists have also observed that ICTs, which have become significantly cheaper, are in huge demand for individual (household) use. Individual applications of ICT in Poland’s economy lead to a growth in different human activities. They impact the economies of Poland in a similar way to the well-known take-back (rebound) effect, which increases the efficiency of resource use and electrical energy consumption in households.
