Global Civilization in Change?rnrnWe are all aware that our world is undergoing an important transition In the 19th century we saw the evolution from an agrarian to an industrial society and now as we approach the 21st century we are experiencing the shift from an industrial society into a full-fledged information society.rnrnFor example, the role of the mainframe computer as a brute force calculating machine has been transformed into the Internet, a worldwide web of personal computers linked together in an endless combination of communication and information networks.

This emphasis on the immaterial carries with it a profound ability to create a new world and change traditional ways of relating. What do these dramatic changes imply for our global civilization?
