Lecture provides an introduction to the economic, political, and social dimensions of IT. We examine the relationship between ICT and society and consider transformative changes and long term consequences of growing rates of information emission and consumption. We investigate how do states, societies and citizens change as a result of participation in digital networks focusing on e-Europe
The analytical approaches emphasize a conceptual understanding of ICT and social change in relatively specific settings, drawing upon empirical studies of computerization or upon conceptual analyses that are empirically grounded. Guest lecturers will be featured. Additional Information: http://www.univie.ac.at/frisch/
