Under the influence of commerce, cyberspace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior...

The turn of the millennium is characterized by exponential growth in everything related to communication - from the internet and email to air traffic.

And has this seemingly limitless access to information led to confusion rather than enlightenment? Eriksen argues that slow time - private periods where we are able to think and correspond without interruption - is now one of the most precious...
