Social Information Science - Love, Health and the Information Society (Paperback)

New technologies for social and medical support will be at the forefront of citizens' demands. To obtain maximum advantage of the new Information Society, it will be the task of the "social information scientist" to advise on the setting up of social/medical/ community/self-help information "banks". This book sets out the way this might take place, and what it will mean in terms of jobs and the development of humanitarian projects between nations, which may lead to an" international social superhighway". It casts light on the positive and vital potential of how the "new information age" can promote the knowledge we have inherited from previous generations to the service of mankind to a degree hitherto unprecedented and undreamed of.
