Personal and Social Impacts of Computer Network Communications
What happens when an individual or group goes online? Does using the Internet change their lives? Working with the National Capital FreeNet, I conducted research on the factors and services that make for successful and unsuccessful online systems, and what lessons can be applied when building commercial systems for the new “information highway”. I also developed a policy paper called The “Soup Kitchen” of the Information Age that I believe is still relevant for community networking projects.
