As a society, we want to forestall the possible negative impacts without closing the door to the potential benefits. But how? Global Networks and Local Values provides perspective and direction, focusing on the relationship between global information networks and local values-that is, the political, economic, and cultural norms that shape our daily lives. This book is structured around an illuminating comparison between U.S. and German approaches toward global communication and information flow. (The United States and Germany are selected as two industrialized, highly networked countries with significant social differences.) Global Networks and Local Values captures the larger context of technology and culture, explores the political and commercial institutions where the global network functions, and highlights specific issues such as taxation, privacy, free speech, and more. The committee contrasts the technical uniformity that makes global communication possible with the diversity of the communities being served and explores the prospects that problems resulting from technology can be resolved by still more technology. This thoughtful volume will be of interest to everyone concerned about the social implications of the global Internet. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aComputer networks$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aComputer networks$xSocial aspects$zGermany 606 $aComputer networks$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aComputer networks$xPolitical aspects$vCase studies 606 $aComputer networks$xPolitical aspects$zGermany 606 $aComputer networks$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects$vCase studies 606 $aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects$zGermany 606 $aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aComputer networks$xSocial aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xSocial aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xSocial aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a303.4833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958364303321 996 $aGlobal networks and local values$94368966 997 $aUNINA
