| | CNN - Technology: Boon or bane to quality of life? - November 2, 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | On stage with Bonfield were Pier Carlo Falotti, Oracle's executive vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa; Peter Sissons, a British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) newsreader who moderated the panel; Don Zereski, chief operating officer of France's Groupe Bull and Professor Kirk Hanson, a senior lecturer at Stanford University's business administration program. |
 | | Such positive assessments were overshadowed throughout the presentations, however, by two concerns: the growing divide between those who have access to technology and telephony and those who do not, and questions about how to protect the privacy of individuals. |
 | | Most of the panelists agreed that the information society presents big challenges for governments, with some even saying that the role of governments will diminish and the responsibility of corporations will increase. |
