The Internet has provided our society with the ability to pass through the barriers of time and space. Underlying all the newly emerging technologies is a profound social and economic transformation. Every sector of our society, not only on both sides of the Atlantic, but across the globe, is challenged to adapt to the new Internet economy. Business is being conducted differently. Business models are changing.
Companies are more efficient and productivity per employee is increasing exponentially.
The same transformations are occurring in education, in the way Americans and citizens of the United Kingdom live, obtain information and conduct their own lives. Fundamentally, this technology empowers. It empowers businesses, business leaders, employees, educators, and mostly it empowers each individual citizen. More to the point, the Internet changes everything including government. Old rules do not work well in this new borderless economy.
