Book excerpt: If the second half of the 20th century is the "age of information", Trevor Haywood identifies the last decade as the "age of connectivity", when the environments that we construct to share knowledge and stay in touch will become increasingly vital. The author argues that human interaction is the key to creating knowledge from information and uses international examples to illustrate his arguments, discussing issues as diverse as education and data protection along the way.
