Description: The presence of information and communication technologies has become so widespread that it now affects the majority of human activities and relations. However, whilst there is a growing belief in the notions of the information society and the emergence of common economic spaces and diverse cultural spaces, the societal dilemmas of exclusion and empowerment, identity and integration, diversity and homogenisation, social vulnerability and economic sustainability are becoming increasingly important.
