The Death of Distance
How the Communications Revolution Is Changing Our Lives
Book • 1997
First published in 1997 and updated in 2001, 'The Death of Distance' by Frances Cairncross examines how the communications revolution is transforming various aspects of society.
The book is based on evidence from two sweeping surveys on telecommunications and discusses the economic and social impacts of new communications technologies.
It covers topics such as the rise of the internet, mobile telephones, e-commerce, the restructuring of organizations, and the 'digital divide'.
Cairncross argues that these technological advances will have far-reaching consequences on decisions about home and work, national borders, education, government, trade, healthcare, and transportation.
