Virtual Lives: Relationships Between The Citizen And Society

摘要

The relationship between communications and information technologies and society is a dynamic one, encompassing often unexpected change. One important aspect of such technological development is its capacity for impacting upon the individual. This special issue of Information and Communications Technology Law, derived from papers presented in the Information Technology Law and Cyberspace stream at the 2008 Socio-Legal Studies Association Annual Conference, explores four different visions of how such change could impact upon society and the conduct of our 'virtual lives' in cyberspace.
