The spread of new information and communications technologies
during the past two decades has helped reshape civic associations,
political communities, and global relations. In the midst of the
information revolution, we find that the speed of this
technology-driven change has outpaced our understanding of its
social and ethical effects. The moral dimensions of this new
technology and its effects on social bonds need to be questioned
and scrutinized: Should the Internet be understood as a new form of
public space and a source of public good? What are we to make of
hackers? Does the Internet strengthen or weaken community? In The
Internet in Public Life, essayists confront these and other
important questions. This timely and necessary volume makes clear
the need for a broader conversation about the effects of the
Internet, and the questions raised by these seven essays highlight
some of the most pressing issues at hand.
