Overview

"""Global Networks"" takes up the host of issues raised by the new networking technology that now links individuals, groups, and organizations in different countries and on different continents. The 21 contributions focus on the implementation, applications and impact of computer-mediated communication in a global context. Previously limited to scientific research, global networks now have an impact on social, educational and business communications. Individuals with a personal computer, a modem and some simple software can join a new social community that is based on interest, not location. ""Global Networks"" provides an understanding of the issues, opportunities and pitfalls of this new social connectivity. It looks at how networking technology can support and augment communication and collaboration from such perspectives as policy constraints and opportunities, language differences, cross-cultural communication and social network design."
