HUMANIZING THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY

Computer and communications, the two most powerful technologies shaping modern life are being integrated to form an even more powerful and all-encompasing network of communication and information services known as the National Information Infrastructure (NII), or the Information Superhighway. As this network will have an enormous impact on the individual lives, businesses and the society, it is crucial that educators, engineers, business people, policy makers, and citizens participate in shaping the technology and the institutions surrounding it. Such an approach ensures that each user is particularly aware of the technology.
