Notes:
Pages 189-207 in Bella Mody (ed.), International and development communication: a 21st century perspective. Sage Publications, Thousand Oaks, California. 304 pages.
Author asks whether new communications technologies can solve global development problems, or are they just a new way to make old mistakes? Examines the assumption that if you move data around instead of physical objects, then you can reduce pollution and energy use significantly. For example, analyses need to include environmental costs of the computers and networks themselves.
