-{ Quote: "'The Internet boom has provided many benefits for society, allowing the creation of new tools and new ways for people to interact. As with many technological advances, however, the Internet has not been without negative aspects. For example, it has created new concerns about privacy, and it has been hampered by spam and viruses. Moreover, even as it serves as a medium for communication across the globe, it threatens to cut off people who lack access to it.
New solutions in information and communication technologies (ICTs) are constantly emerging, and, for good or for ill, the changes they bring may open up our societies and our world to a greater extent than did the first phase of the Internet revolution. It is imperative to consider the implications of these new technologies, and to encourage positive choices regarding their uses.'" }-
