We are on the verge of what many are calling the "second information revolution," based on ubiquitous access to both computing and information. Handheld communication devices will become portable and even wearable remote control devices for both the social and physical worlds. At the same time, access to information will likely flourish, with an explosion in the volumes of data collected and distributed by these new devices-volumes of information about people delivered to more and more people, in new ways. The technologies of instant access have potential to transform dramatically our lives, cities, societies and economies much like the automobile changed our world in the previous century. This research symposium will bring together leading international experts who will address and discuss issues surrounding the impact of instant access on social organization, institutions, urban morphology, heath and well-being, social justice and social exclusion http://www.geog.utah.edu/instant_access/index.html Siobhan Champ-Blackwell Community Outreach Liaison NN/LM-MCR Creighton University Health Sciences Library 2500 California Plaza Omaha, NE 68178 402.280.4156/800.338.7657 option#1,#2, then #1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nnlm.gov/mcr http://medstat.med.utah.edu/blogs/BHIC/ <http://medstat.med.utah.edu/blogs/BHIC/> http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/siobhanchamp-blackwell <http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/siobhanchamp-blackwell> _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
