Digital Futures: Living in a Dot.Com World

Digital Futures: Living in a Dot.Com World

by JamesWilsdon (Editor)

Synopsis

Two of the most powerful drivers of change in contemporary society are the explosion of digital technologies and the environmental pressures requiring a shift towards sustainable development. Both demand that we rethink the nature of goods and services. Both can transform companies, markets and entire economies. This study attempts to assess whether the digital and sustainable revolutions will complement or conflict with one another. It features contributions from many of the UK's most influential think-tanks, including Charles Leadbetter, Jonathon Porritt, Evan Davis and Sir Peter Hall. It constitutes an exploration of the social and environmental impacts and opportunities of e-commerce.
