Many of those whose income have decreased belong to the high school educated group and blow, the older than 50 years old, self - employed without employee and unpaid family employee. Those whose income and assets decreased and those who experienced downward mobility have undergone changes in everyday life and living conditions as a consumer. Many of them experienced the unemployment, nonpayment or credit - delinquency, dissolution of family, worsening health condition, depression, feeling the impulse to commit suicide simultaneously. The poor consumer disposition, reduction of living expenses, sound consumer culture have expanded to people since economic crisis. The middle class reported that the cost of private education often goes beyond the family ability to pay. The lower class has suffered from the cost of living. In a meanwhile luxury goods preference, consumer consciousness for status symbol have continuously increased among all the classes since 1997.

Considering the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this study examines the changes and influences of intelligent information technology and the role of consumer education in the context of consumption life. The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical foundation to effectively respond to the future consumption society as an independent consumer by enhancing the understanding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in terms of consumption life. First, in terms of changes in the consumption paradigm in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, production and consumption are converged by being shared through a comprehensive connection platform in real time. Regarding the meaning of consumption, mental experience is being emphasized; moreover, usage and sharing, rather than ownership, are being highlighted. In terms of major changes in consumption life, the emergence of a more convenient smart consumption life and the possibility of personalized consumption optimized for individual demand are anticipated. Moreover, sustainable eco-friendly consumption is expected to increase further, and rapidly changing consumption trends will experience accelerated progress in consumer-centered changes. Next, the predicted problems in consumption life in the Fourth Industrial Revolution include unequal consumption due to intelligent information technology power center and the use and management of personal information data. Furthermore, ethical concerns related to the introduction of new technologies will become prominent, eventually resulting in issues concerning consumption satisfaction. To effectively respond to these new paradigm changes, consumer education should be value-centered. Ethical aspects of consumption should be considered, and consumption life should include trust and mutual cooperation. Furthermore, consumer education should facilitate creative convergence.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 Tobin의 q-이론(理論)에 입각하여 투자(投資)를 결정하고 동태적(動態的) 예산제약하(豫算制約下)에서의 외채지불능력(外債支拂能力)만을 감안한 적정소비결정(滴定消費決定)의 문제점을 논의하는 동시에 우리나라에 있어서 자본(資本)의 시장가치(市場價値), 자본(資本)의 한계생산력(限界生産力) 및 이자율간(利資率間)의 관계를 살펴보고자 함에 목적(目的)이 있다. Balassa and Williamson(1987)은 우리나라의 자본수익률(資本收益率)이 해외차입금리(海外借入金利)보다 높으므로 투자(投資)를 확대시키는 한편, 지금과 같이 호전(好轉)된 해외여건(海外與件)이 상당기간 지속(持續)될 것이며 우리나라의 신인도(信認度)가 높다는 점을 들어 소비(消費)를 확대하고 장기적으로 10억(億)~20억(億)달러의 경상수지적자(經常收支赤子)를 유지하는 것이 바람직하다고 주장하였다. 본고(本稿)는 그들의 주장(主張)을 수용(受容)하는 소비(消費)와 투자(投資)의 동태적(動態的) 최적배분(最適配分)에 관한 단순모형(單純模型)을 구축하여 그들의 주장(主張)을 계량적(計量的)으로 보다 엄밀하게 점검하는 한편, 1990년대 초에 순채권국(純債權國)이 되려는 6차계획(次計劃)의 기본방향(基本方向)이 우리나라의 과거경험(過去經驗) 및 대내외여건전망(對內外與件展望)에 비추어 타당함을 보이려고 하였다.

사용자들이 미디어를 접하는 디바이스 환경이 다양화되고 그 속에서 접할 수 있는 콘텐츠의 양은 많아졌다. 특히 급속도로 발전한 모바일 환경에서 사용자들은 개인화된 기기를 사용하여 콘텐츠를 소비하고 주변 사용자들과 경험을 공유한다. 콘텐츠 제공 서비스에서는 이러한 개인의 콘텐츠 소비 이력 및 SNS 관계에서 발생한 데이터를 분석하여 활용함으로써 콘텐츠 소비를 활성화하고자 한다. KBS에서도 이러한 동향에 맞추어 방송콘텐츠 추천검색 연구와 실시간 TV캡처 및 소셜 공유 연구를 진행하였으며, 그 과정에서 많은 양의 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 방법의 필요성을 절감하게 되었다. 데이터 분석이 필요한 두 과제에서 진행한 내용을 기술하고 대용량 데이터 처리기법을 활용하여 상용화 서비스를 구축할 계획을 소개한다.

In order to compare the ginseng consumption culture of Korean and Chinese college students, their purchase status of ginseng products, attitudes toward ginseng, and satisfaction with ginseng products were examined, and the purchase and recommendation intention of ginseng products was investigated. It targeted 267 Korean college students and 318 Chinese college students who had experience eating ginseng products. As a result of the survey, in the case of Korean college student consumers, interest in ginseng products increased compared to before COVID-19, and the intention to purchase and recommend ginseng products increased. In addition, the higher the satisfaction with ginseng, the higher the frequency of ginseng purchase experience, the higher the social benefit attitude toward ginseng, and the higher the age, the higher the intention to purchase and recommend ginseng products. Chinese college student consumers had higher parental purchases than Korea, higher positive intentions to purchase and recommend social and psychological benefits, and their 20s are already more interested and friendly than Korea. What Korean college students and Chinese college student consumers have in common is that interest in health, safety, and environment has increased since before COVID-19, and interest in ginseng-related products has changed in individual experiences, indicating that individual experiences are important and Chinese college student consumers are influenced by parents. In particular, COVID-19 is an opportunity to recognize the importance of health, which is important to those in their 20s, and is actually related to purchase intention. Focusing on these results, it seems that expansion to preferred products for college student consumers and differentiation of marketing strategies according to family influence and consumption culture should be made, and these new changes due to COVID-19 seem to be a timely opportunity. At a time when interest in health and safety has increased, strategic preparations are needed for the future consumersociety to respond to changesin product diversity and convergence, changes in marketing media to meet consumer consumption values, and changesin consumer family types, such assingle households.
