Letter
from the Conference Co-Chairs
Virtually everything we do has been profoundly affected by the Information
Revolution: How we travel, how we shop, how we communicate, how we do
business. Computers, telecommunications and software have combined to
change human existence in every way imaginable. Indeed the changes are
so profound that two World Summits on Information Society are underway
- one in Geneva 2003 and one in Tunis in 2005.
CODATA
is officially a WSIS related thematic meeting
The World Summit on the Information Society has acknowledged CODATA 2004
as an event leading to Tunis 2005.
