Abstract

The new emerging Information Society will bring about significant changes in the way in which we perceive and experience both our working and social environment. Frameworks, everyday functions and practices, which, for decades, constituted the obvious reality around which the whole of our life revolved, are starting to look effete and unable to respond to the new electronic reality. The challenges of the new era, must become an object of attention for all citizens who will be called upon to enjoy its advantages, but also to confront the consequences which it will bring about to their life and the life of their children. The construction of an integral statutory framework, which will prepare the access to the new electronic reality for all citizens, under as less as possible disturbances, comprises the highest priority of the current era, since it is a factor of political clarity and cohesion of our society.
