Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Telepresence is the generic term for a set of activities performed from a distance through the use of telecommunication means. It refers to working (telecommuting), playing, providing and using services (telemedicine, teleshopping), teaching and learning (tele-education). - from a distance. The dialogue presented in this paper between a `True Believer' and a `Devil's Advocate' helps to explore some social implications of telepresence, particularly the emergence of new global-village lifestyles, against the development of `media-slums'.
