Information Technology Fetishism:A New Variation of Capitalism beyond Marx:Interpretation of Volume Ⅲof Lefebvre's Critique of Everyday Life
Information technology has become super-commodity,the"commodity of commodi-ties"in today's capitalist economic market.The information commodity erases the difference be-tween the use value and the exchange value of commodities,and the mediating role of information in exchange is already partially usurping the hegemony of monetary.Information is wealth has become an important social reality.If Marx saw that exchange conquered the world in the past,today in the capitalist mode of production it appears that information(exchange)conquers the world.This he-gemony of information technology also generates an information ideology and information fetishism in an invisible way.The ideology of information is consistent with the appearance of the dispelling of ide-ologizing in all technological ideologies,which invisibly permeates daily life and becomes the gover-ning principle of existence,and whose depoliticized way of existence is the strongest political ideology.
