In order to help crystallise issues in this
guide, we have developed some propositions as points
for discussion and reflection among practitioners. These
include:
-
Communities are networks. Systems should reflect
this.
-
Technology is not a substitute. You need a mix
of media.
-
Technology is not enough to get connected.
-
It all takes time - even with the Net.
-
One-way service delivery isn't a compelling reason
for connection.
-
The Net won't make insensitive organisations people-friendly.
-
In making things happen, people are usually the
problem and the solution.
-
Different Net tools yield different Net benefits.
-
Tomorrow is likely to be personal and mobile.
-
Smart homes, media homes, dumb homes.
-
'Why bother' depends upon the context and what's
already available.
-
Real access to Net benefits involves ownership
and control.
-
The only way to find what works online is to try
it.
