Emerging technologies, notably the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW), have profoundly changed the way we work, live, collaborate and communicate. With the rapid growth of the Internet and the Web, we have seen a move toward a new communication paradigm: a shift from face-to-face human contact to human-machine interaction; from paper-based information transfer to electronic delivery; from text-centered mode to multimedia; and from physical presence to telepresence or virtual presence. Another significant impact caused by the Internet is the creation of a virtual global community. This community bears some resemblance to the existing, physical world but is more dynamic in nature.
