  • ICT Innovations from Finland, and Finnish Digilect in Electronic Media Culture
    Finland Suomi 100: language, culture, history , U. Tuomarla, I. Piechnik, B. Bíró (eds.) Jagiellonian Library & University of Helsinki Kraków & Helsinki, 2017 Iwona Piechnik Jagiellonian University in Kraków ICT innovations from Finland, and Finnish digilect in electronic media culture Communication by electronic means has had a predominant place in Fin- land at least since the mid 1990s. This is the country of Nokia, a pioneer in the field of mobile phones and advanced telecoms technology, as well as a home- land of IRC and Linux, or many computer games like Angry Birds, etc. In short, in this information and new media age, Finland has had many achieve- ments in the ICT field, and has an advanced information society. In fact, just after World War II, Finland took a path of vigorous progress in almost every field of social life. In 1987, i.e. still before the period of the high technology development, David Arter wrote: The pace of economic modernisation in post-war Finland has been unique. In no other European democracy has the progression from an essentially agrarian society through a period of accelerated industrialisation to a predominantly service economy been compressed into a mere four decades. (Arter 1987: 227) The Finnish miracle took place despite the war devastation of the country (especially in the North) and substantial war reparations paid to the Soviet Union. In the beginning, the economic situation was desperate with no inter- national help at hand, the people even faced starvation. Moreover, the Soviet Union was against Finland’s participation in Marshall Plan (Rajaniemi 1999: 336–337).

Finland is the country richest in waters and more of the richest in islands in Europe. We boast 76,000 islands with an area of 0.5 hectares or more, 56,000 lakes with an area of one hectare or more, 36,800 kilome- tres of river bed wider than fi ve metres and 336,000 kilometres of shore- eemeli / peltonen vAStAvAlo line. Every Finnish municipality has waters, and most contain islands. The number of islands with either permanent or part-time inhabitants amounts to around 20,000. Every island, lake and river has its place in the hearts of Finns. This brochure describes these unique riches. Its multitude of islands and waters makes the Finnish landscape frag- mented, creating extra costs for the economy, the State and local author- ities, but it is also an incomparable resource. Our islands, seas, lakes, riv- ers and shores are excellent regional assets in a world that thrives increas- ingly on producing unique experiences. Island municipalities and part- island municipalities boast a large range of sources of livelihood, although structural changes have decreased the number of jobs over the years.
