Cyberspaces Human Dimension

Outlines the challenges and opportunities presented by online communications and its impact on individuals, families, society, economics, business, and government. Whittle, an author, and 12-year veteran of IBM, explores questions that should be addressed while the destiny of cyberspace is being shaped: what distinguishes cyberspace from other forms of computer communications technology; how cyberspace affects the media; how it might change notions of personal and collective freedom and identity; and what role government regulation would play.
