Subject: NotMusic:Govt and the 'Information Age'?
Hi, all.

As part of my MA course, I'm researching a topic on governments encouraging the growth of the 'information age'.

I have a fair bit from the UK, with Tony Blair's keenness to get every home, school, library, hospital and garden shed networked (though I'd be interested in opinions from here too).

I'm particularly looking for some input from other countries, on how your government is encouraging this new age, or otherwise, and whether they should?

Not expecting you to write my essay (unless you're offering...), just to open a discussion.

Thanks!

Noreen
