In particular, the emergence of the computer as a tool for storing and rapidly manipulating increasingly large sets of data, and its convergence with telecommunications systems providing the means for swift and extensive transmission and carriage, has been the root of endless discussion about the presumed arrival of an 'information society'. 1 The convergence of these developments, both technologically and organizationally, with the broadcasting industry has completed a fusion offering genuinely massive transformations in the worlds of work and leisure. The technological core of these developments, digitization, involves the common transformation of a variety of modes of communication-print, speech, audiovisual materials, raw data-into a common form as electronic binary digits. This allows each form to be readily transmuted into any of the others, and for all of them to be stored, retrieved, manipulated, and distributed with unprecedented facility through the merged apparatuses of computing and telecommunications. Our concern here is not with the arguments about whether or not these innovations permit us to diagnose a transformation into a new kind of society. Suffice to say we understand them to have made major impacts on the relations between human beings and their environments, and between differing groups and social sectors, but in ways that largely enhance or recompose existing relationships. In short, the political economy of these changes will identify shifts
