This book describes the part information plays and will continue to play in our lives. It considers our progression from an industrial to an information-based society and projects the problems and potential of our databased world in years to come.The politics of information and the state of national information policies are explored, along with the ethical issues surrounding the ownership of information and the circumstances under which it may not be withheld. An equally important component of the study is the way information has changed attitudes and cultural behavior. The impact of television and multimedia on the information communication scene is also examined.
