Papers from the seminar
Edited by David Sless

Communication Research Press, 1995
83 pp, ISBN 0 947170 06 5

Heady speculation and bright promises for the future of the information superhighway are taking place in an informationless society. We are facing an uncertain communication future with little information to guide us.

In this book, leading public figures, policy-makers and researchers raise serious concerns about the current debate. They describe research findings, and the many gaps in our knowledge, and they review policy debates and political imperatives.
