Towards an information society / by Lucie Deschênes. : Co28-1/96-1992E

Satellites, fibre optics and microchips are among the technologies that are profoundly transforming our society. And there's more to come. Towards an Information Society looks at this supercharged information environment, dominated by foreign interests, and asks if the Canadian information industry can survive in it? Already, American cultural products have overrun Canadian markets to the point where alarm bells are sounding in some quarters. This report poses tough questions about our national identity and sovereignty in the face of technological change. Technology and culture are melding. Should market forces alone determine the outcome? Author Deschênes has written her report for "people involved in the information sector at a time when their decisions must be made in an increasingly complex environment."
