Electronic Communications at the
Beginning of the 21st Century

Changing patterns of human communication are having a major impact on how people live, work, and make decisions.  At times, new technology has been ahead of human needs and at others, human needs have driven the development of new technologies.  In a similar vein, our ability to develop legal, moral, and ethical codes applicable to the new technologies has been limited by our experience, needs, and vision.  For 2004, the ECC Forum is soliciting papers related to the impact of Technology in the following areas:
*Business
*Collective behavior & action
*Communications Theory
*File Sharing
*First Amendment Issues
*Human Relationships & Psychology
*International Issues
*Law Enforcement
*Media Access
*Politics
*Privacy
*Religion
*Security
*Social Services
*Teaching, Learning, and Training
*Terrorism & Extremism
*The Arts
*The Digital Divide
*The Military
*TV, Radio, and Regulation
