Social habits and NICTs: trends

In this book "Els hàbits socials i les NTIC: tendències”, we present the conclusions of the conference that took place on 19 June 2008. These conclusions have been published as part of the “Estratègia” (Strategy) collection published by the Barcelona Metropolitan Strategic Plan.

Creafutur has written this publication, issued by the Barcelona Metropolitan Strategic Plan, as part of the strategy collection in order to compile the best of the whole conference organised by the Catalan Regional Science Association, the Barcelona Metropolitan Strategic Plan, Barcelona Chamber of Commerce and the Telefònica – UPC Chair. The purpose of the publication is to draw attention to trends in uses and services concerning information and communication technologies.

The book is intended to be a reflection on the new uses of these technologies and how they are incorporated into the everyday habits of people and businesses; how new technologies are integrated into the life and economy of an area and how these new technologies offer businesses opportunities to better adapt to the challenges of the future.
