Description
The spread of new information and communications technologies during the past two decades has helped reshape civic associations, political communities, and global relations.
In the midst of the information revolution, we find that the speed of this technology-driven change has outpaced our understanding of its social and ethical effects.
The moral dimensions of this new technology and its effects on social bonds need to be questioned and scrutinized: Should the Internet be understood as a new form of public space and a source of public good?
What are we to make of hackers? Does the Internet strengthen or weaken community? In The Internet in Public Life, essayists confront these and other important questions.
This timely and necessary volume makes clear the need for a broader conversation about the effects of the Internet, and the questions raised by these seven essays highlight some of the most pressing issues at hand.
