Digital Nation
The long-term social benefits of building an inclusive information society: a national action plan.

The Civic Web
Political web sites and e-mail lists were novelties in 1996. By 2000, they were a news trend. By 2004, they will be a part of every electoral and policy campaign.

While viewing technologies fundamentally in social rather than technical terms, Digital Formations n...
