Information and democracy

Abstract

The UKOLUG Annual Lecture at Online Information 94 was given by the Rt. Hon. Tony Benn — former Labour Member of Parliament for Bristol and now for Chesterfield, veteran Labour politician, Postmaster General and Technology Minister in previous Labour governments, amongst other positions. Information is the one natural resource that is growing at an exponential rate when every other natural resource is decreasing: fossil fuels, coal and oil. Information is growing and what has happened, is happening and will happen will completely transform the world and the lives of everyone who lives in it.
