| List Name | Cyberspace Society (cyber-soc) |
| Purpose: | ************************************** INTRODUCTION TO THE CYBERSPACE SOCIETY ************************************** The Cyberspace Society was formed to counterbalance the power of the large industry interests in cyberspace. From telephone deregulation to new on-line service providers such as Microsoft there are major changes occurring in the ability to access information, changes in the character of information that will be accessible, and changes in costs. There are important public interests at stake and it is not clear that the market winner(s) in the information highway sweepstakes will create a world that is kind, virtuous, and caring. To some, the lure of the new frontier brings a sense of lawlessness. Some articles in _Wired Magazine_ suggest cyberspace is a world to be conquered and used to one's own advantage. The Cyberspace Society must offer a better response to technological change, not a new leap backward to the wild west mentality. We should, instead, work toward liberating the creativity and commitment of all people, and promote the general welfare of society in deference to selfish postures of individual pressure groups. This strategy can most likely guide the technological genius of cyberspace toward unlimited development and maximum competence. Original Founders: W. Curtiss Priest, CITS Richard K. Moore, Writer Vigdor Shreibman, FINS Digest --------------------------------------------------------------------- ************************************** COORDINATION OF THE CYBERSPACE SOCIETY ************************************** The members of The Society will be given access to the electronic listserve for the Society.
