520 |a "How are we to understand the causes of the telecommunications revolution? How can we begin to predict its consequences? ; ; The last three decades have witnessed a dramatic acceleration in the use, demand, and need for telecommunications, data communication, and mass communication transmitted and integrated into networks. Through a synthesis of contemporary theories about modernization, this book offers a broad-ranging introduction to the 'network' society in all its aspects.; ; The Network Society:; ; ? Analyzes the new media in all their technical, economic, political, sociological, cultural and psychological aspects.; ; ? Examines the new media in terms of their impact on both public policy and private life.; ; ? Compares legal and policy initiatives in North America, Europe, Eastern Asia, and the Third World.; ; ? Enables the reader to critical assess the 'hype' which surrounds the Internet and other new media.; ; In comparison to the boundless speculation accompanying the new media, this book offers a well-balanced but critical overview of the telecommunications revolution.
