Synopsis

Since the general public began to use the Internet, there has been a vast amount of investment by governments and commerce in digital communications technologies. There has also been a fair degree of confusion and sometimes controversy about the purpose and effectiveness of such technologies. The far-reaching implications for commerce and society of some of these decisions in invisible or opaque specialist fields, however, mean they should be matters of concern for every citizen.

This book argues that decisions should be based on an understanding of the systems, technology and environment within which they operate. It examines how technology and law are evolving in restrictive rather than enabling ways and details how experts and ordinary people can work together. It aims to stimulate an awareness of the issues and be a readable, challenging and informative introduction, both for university students and the general reader.
