Overview"Whether you call it the third wave, the information revolution, or the virtually connected world, the implications of a global information network are profound. As a society, we want to forestall the possible negative impacts without closing the door to the potential benefits. But how? ""Global Networks and Local Values"" provides perspective and direction, focusing on the relationship between global information networks and local values - that is, the political, economic, and cultural norms that shape our daily lives. This book is structured around an comparison between US and German approaches toward global communication and information flow. The report captures the larger context of technology and culture, explores the political and commercial institutions where the global network functions, and highlights specific issues such as taxation, privacy, free speech, and more. The committee contrasts the technical uniformity that makes global communication possible with the diversity of the communities being served and explores the prospects that problems resulting from technology can be resolved by still more technology."
