✦ Synopsis

This new technology] had the potential to connect people like no other technology. It would bring about ubiquitous two-way communication, and it would likely usher in a Wired Society governed by Electronic Democracy.

[It] would revitalize communities, enrich schools, end poverty, eliminate the need for everything from banks to shopping malls, and reduce dependence on the automobile. (Mosco, 2004, p. 1)
