crl-14869	Matheson, Nina W.	The Information Society: A Retrospective View (Book Review)	1994-01-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1331	66	56	By these measures, the authors de- termined that in general ... what was forecast decades ago was confirmed, that there has been significant growth in all three scales in almost all nations, that the richer nations are more advanced and advancing faster than poor nations with undereducated populations, and that the United States and Japan are closest to being information societies, al- though they fall short of expectations in many ways. It is a shame, however, to have included those essays that are so disappointing, and that the editors did not use an or- ganizing principle less ambitious and more coherent.-John Price- Wilkin, Uni- versity of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia .	cache/crl-14869.pdf	txt/crl-14869.txt
