This book offers a comprehensive overview of recent research on the
internet, emphasizing its spatial dimensions, geospatial
applications, and the numerous social and geographic implications
such as the digital divide and the mobile internet. Written by
leading scholars in the field, the book sheds light on the origins
and the multiple facets of the internet. It addresses the various
definitions of cyberspace and the rise of the World Wide Web, draws
upon media theory, as well as explores the physical infrastructure
such as the global skein of fibre optics networks and broadband
connectivity. Several economic dimensions, such as e-commerce,
e-tailing, e-finance, e-government, and e-tourism, are also
explored. Apart from its most common uses such as Google Earth,
social media like Twitter, and neogeography, this volume also
presents the internet's novel uses for ethnographic research and
the study of digital diasporas. Illustrated with numerous graphics,
maps, and charts, the book will best serve as supplementary reading
for academics, students, researchers, and as a professional
handbook for policy makers involved in communications, media,
retailing, and economic development.
