Description

Thus far, the communications revolution has been largely limited to the merely technological feat of converging telecommunications with personal computing. But does it hold a higher promise --- to transform communication as a human act of sharing meaning about values, attitudes, and experiences Or will it simply allow capitalism to pursue ever-greater economic efficiencies among the wealthy nations of the world, while ignoring the persistent and growing gap between rich and poor The contributors to this volume consider these central questions among others from a stimulatingly wide variety of perspectives.
