ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book summarizes three graphical illustrations of a complicated new world in which engagement and actions from all of us are needed – keeping in mind the long-term and short-term goals and visions for the Good ICT Society. It outlines numerous panel sessions at various conferences, attempting to hammer out the optimal goals for the ICT Society and searching for ways to get to the Good ICT Society. The book presents different levels of change: societal, national, local, institutional, and organizational. It also covers some national/governmental actions and international levels and actions as well as others that are feasible at both the individual level and the community level, whether physical or virtual. It debates directions in values, lifestyles, individual cognition, and behavioural modifications. The book illustrates the convergence model on ICT and Psychosocial Life Environment.
