few eras in human history
have experienced such rapid
change in the way societies
communicate and interact as the
present time. Driven by dramatic
improvements in computing power
and broadband access to the
Internet, recent advances in
computers and telecommunications
have fundamentally changed the
way we live. Access to modern
telecommunications is no longer
viewed as a luxury but rather as an
economic and social necessity.
Every aspect of modern life has felt
this impact – telecommuting,
telemedicine, online banking, online
education and eGovernment are
examples of this digital age.
