Computing Our Way to Paradise?

The Role of Internet and Communication Technologies in Sustainable Consumption and Globalization

Beschreibung

Computing Our Way to Paradise? challenges key assumptions concerning the role of Internet and communication technologies in globalization processes. The author argues that while globalization is predicated upon a strong, extensive, and interconnected network of products, processes, and services, the real environmental and health benefits remain far from certain.
