The key forces contributing to such transformation were public-private cooperation, the dedication of pioneers who "grew the field," and the entrepreneurial ventures of data consolidators and research agencies. The social, economic, and organizational forces brought about changes that were coupled widi the requisite technology; diis paved the way for the creation of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and many related features that range from mobile communication to visualization techniques. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Information & Culture is the property of University of Texas Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
