This program explores how new technologies are poised to transform drastically the way we live and work. But will this exciting new world be available just to be a chosen few? Who will be the winners and losers in the coming cyberworld and what will be the role of the Internet? The program examines the Internet, with its free-flow of anonymous contacts and information exchanges; these new relationships may redefine the concept of friendship as we know it today. Governments will also have to adapt or face a raft of new problems because information available to cybermanagers will be uncontrollable. Potentially, the fastest and most obvious difference created by the information revolution will come in the work place. The program visits an American ad agency which has no specified workspaces or structured work time for employees - staff work remotely via laptop computers and mobile phones.
