Powerful new convergences of digital technologies together with rising
adoption of information and communications technologies (ICTs) into
everyday commercial, political and social life has led to pronouncements
of a second generation of information society development. But what
evidence exists to support this idea of a significant step change in the
development and social, economic and political diffusion of ICTs?
This symposium seeks to take forward this debate by critically analysing
key issues emerging from new inter-relationships between information,
communication and society.
