Notes:
6 pages., Part of a 59-page report of findings from a survey among executives at U.S. companies. This section focuses on responses from executives in the horticulture/farming sector.
Examines issues of connectivity, language and content of the internet. Concludes that "in reality the internet concentrates economic activity and power more narrowly in one group. As a result there is a real risk that we are moving towards a two-tier technology society that perpetuates the old distinctions between North and South."
"While the net may provide a new medium for dissent and opposition, its impact is offset by two principal factors." Factors cited include the digital divide and growing commercialism.
