Global Information Infrastructure: The Birth, Vision, and Architecture (Series in Global Information Technology Management) - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

A new world has arrived in which computer and communications technologies will transform the national and global economies into information-driven economies. This is triggering the Information Revolution, which will have political and societal impacts every bit as profound as the Industrial Revolution. The 19th century eliminated wilderness via railroads. The 20th century developed science and technology which many say has allowed the planet to fall apart and fragment along tribal and sectarian lines. The 21st century is viewed as one that will implement the mass-enlightenment, which will integrate us commercially and culturally as a New Information Civilisation. ""Global Information Infrastructure"" provides a futuristic view of the birth, vision and architecture of the major components of this new global world.
