The Impact of Social Computing on the EU Information Society and Economy

Ignatia reports, "The European Commission JRC (Joint Research Center), Institute for Prospective Technological Studies released last week at the EU Ministerial Conference on e-Government a comprehensive report on social and economic implications of Social Computing [aka Web2.0, social media]." The 138 page report contains 9 chapters, each by different authors. It suggests, "Social Computing is now mainstream and companies and policymakers cannot afford to overlook it." Also, "Social Computing is novel and disruptive as it enables the open collaborative creation and sharing of content by users and the re-use of this content for a multitude of purposes." And "Social Computing has the potential
to reshape work, health and learning." Yves Punie, et.al., eds., Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, November 26, 2009. [Link] [Tags: Information, European Union] [Previous][Next]
