The purpose of the material is to underline the current trends in the economic environment in Romania given the new context of shifting to an information based society, in view of the adhesion to the European Union. Studies performed by this moment clearly demonstrate that Romania must above all build a developed economic society in order to be able to implement more easily sources of communications and information technologies existing in the world. This demonstrates that a very close correlation exists between a country’s development level and its current use of Information Technology and Communications.
