It is said that we are entering into a post-industrial or information society. Recently it is discussed, however, by several authors that even in an information society we can not neglect a major role of the manufacturing industry. In this paper, it is discussed that an information society is a necessary outgrowth originating from an industrial society which has grown up to possess productivity of a global scale. It is well known that this productivity of a global scale gives rise to many troubles, especially environmental problems. There exists a partial parallelism between nuclear weapons and productivity of a global scale. Schematically, it could be presented as follows : Productivity ……………… Nuclear weapons uncontrolled production nuclear winter Carbon Dioxide ……………… Dust and smoke Greenhouse effect ……………… Nuclear winter. An aspect of special interest of this parallelism is that in both cases computer simulation plays a central role. In other words, in both cases, the reformation of socio-economical system is induced by information itself.
