Powerful new convergences of digital technologies together with rising 
adoption of information and communications technologies (ICTs) into 
everyday commercial, political and social life has led to pronouncements of 
a second generation of information society development. But what evidence 
exists to support this idea of a significant step change in the development 
and social, economic and political diffusion of ICTs?

This symposium seeks to take forward this debate by critically analysing 
key issues emerging from new inter-relationships between information, 
communication and society.
