01 TO 04: How has new technology changed your life? The impact of new technology, especially in the developed world, is apparent all around us in the way we communicate, run business and understand the world. 05 But the new century has seen questions arise about how rapid and how extensive the information revolution will be. Will the internet turn out to be a radical force for uniting and democratising the world, as some have 10 prophesied – or will it cause deeper divisions between the haves and the have-nots? Delegates to a United Nations summit on information technology in December failed to approve practical measures to deliver the internet and other technologies 15 to the world’s poorest regions. Despite agreement on lofty principles, negotiators could not agree on key questions such as whether a UN agency should be created to govern the internet and whether to create a separate fund for projects to close 20 the technology gap between rich and poor nations.
