Publisher's Synopsis
Digital convergence across computer, broadcasting and communication technologies is rapidly changing the ways we develop and use Information Technologies. The emergence of the Internet and the World Wide Web has enabled interaction, competition and resource sharing on a global scale. It has also reinforced the need to view the development and use of Information Technology in a different light. This places the emphasis on networks as the formation and reproduction of institutionalised practices involve both people and Information Technology, as opposed to simple technical connections between machines.
