CerfNew Brunswick, N. J. Rutgers University Press20111 online resource (255 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8135-4962-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- South Korea -- Senegal -- Estonia -- Iran -- Conclusion.Through the lens of culture, The Internet of Elsewhere looks at the role of the Internet as a catalyst in transforming communications, politics, and economics. Cyrus Farivar explores the Internet's history and effects in four distinct and, to some, surprising societies-Iran, Estonia, South Korea, and Senegal. He profiles Web pioneers and surveys the environments in which they each work. Farivar contends that despite California's great success in creating the Internet and spawning companies like Apple and Google, in some areas the United States is still years behind other nations.<InternetSocial aspectsDeveloping countriesCase studiesInternetPolitical aspectsDeveloping countriesCase studiesInformation technologySocial aspectsDeveloping countriesCase studiesInformation technologyPolitical aspectsDeveloping countriesCase studiesInternetKorea (South)InternetSenegalInternetEstoniaInternetIranElectronic books.InternetSocial aspectsInternetPolitical aspectsInformation technologySocial aspectsInformation technologyPolitical aspectsInternetInternetInternetInternet303.48/3309AP 18420rvkFarivar Cyrus763690MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457901903321The internet of elsewhere2460450UNINA
