European Research Area

May 23, 2007 in Moscow, plans to hold a conference on the Internet. "Good, bad and unexpected ... User and future information and communication technologies' - the so-called interdisciplinary conference on the exchange knowledge and experience within the framework of the European Commission's 'Project on Science and Technology 298' (COST 298 Action. Its main goal - creation of new knowledge about the possibilities of users and their involvement in the 'broadband' information society. This new knowledge is essential for the development of the European Research Area. More on I'm glad that the European Commission, represented by the COST 298 Action, gave the Russians an opportunity to exchange experiences with colleagues from other countries. These issues I have been doing for years, because I would like to share my vision of WWW, and the entire ICT industry over the next ten years. More detail and extensively the concepts developed in my books and articles about Information and open societies (OSI), which are represented on this site).

Here, only brief answers to the topics identified in the conference. 1. ICT as an extension of man: "ICT can be a different way to supplement and enrich human capabilities, his knowledge and activities. " Today's ICT development, the widespread use of computer processing of all things to work, school, at home and rest many active citizens in democratic rich technically developed countries, suggests the emergence of elements of the System of information support human life in the digital world (SISZHL). Already beginning to emerge the contours of this system, rather than a set of diverse disparate devices and software, as mobile phones, computers, gadgets, web portals and Internet pages, operating systems and browsers.
