Abstract
The rapid expansion of digital networking and especially the Internet over the past two decades has been a boon for the many informationally intensive activities that facilitate and increasingly constitute contemporary social, economic, political and cultural life. Access to information and the means to produce information have grown dramatically, enabling both individual empowerment and democratic pa1ticipation. Digital mediation is transforming the design, production, marketing , distribution and consumption of a widening array of goods and services. The Internet provides a platform for active
involvement in campaigns, groups, movements and political activism, allows individuals to disseminate the fruits of their creation to the world at virtually no cost, and enables the instantaneous search of volumes of data.
