From CPSR's Rich History in Internet Governance National Information Infrastructure (Internet)

Created on October 17, 2004.

In 1993 CPSR saw great promise in the National Information Infrastructure (NII), later to be known as the Internet. CPSR believed that the benefits of the NII should not be framed solely in economic or functional terms. The nation's communications infrastructure should reflect the values of democracy. Ultimately, the success of the NII will be measured by whether it empowers citizens, protects individual rights, and strengthens the democratic institutions on which this country was founded.

Why did you join CPSR?

I support critical thinking--including ethical issues--when it comes to decisions about the use of technology. I want more people to have access to learn about technology. I would like to see resources go into finding and implementing technologies that provide the most public good.
