Title

'Disarticulations' in the information society : barriers to the universal access to information highways in developing countries

Source

International information and library review. 29(1997) no.2, S.189-199

Year

Abstract

Full benefit may be derived from the technological potential of the Internet on condition that serious attentiion is given to the social, political and ethical aspects, which are often barriers to the free and multi-directional access to information, especially in developing countries. Lists causes of these barriers - 'disarticulations' within a society - and emphasises their importance in developing countries. Examines possible different communication structures in a society and their effects. The traditional principle of free flow of information is not sufficient in the advancing information society; there is a need for a principle which deals more specifically with the 'activation', 'mediation' and 'networking' of the needs and opinions at the different levels of society
