Towards an integrated information society policy in South Africa

Description:

The information society, as a concept for post-industrial society as well as a framework for organising growth and prosperity, has become part of the public and political debate in many countries. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the concept has become widely used in popular conversation, the mass media, political discourse and academic debate, with many different meanings. The term has quickly moved up the political and policy agendas of western and developing countries, as it is believed to bring economic growth and social prosperity for all.
