The Future

This chapter is a transcript of Haq’s address to the North South Roundtable of 1992, where he identifies five critical challenges for the global economy for the future. If addressed properly, these can change the course of human history. He stresses on the need for redefining security to include security for people, not just of land or territories; to redefine the existing models of development to include ‘sustainable human development’; to find a more pragmatic balance between market efficiency and social compassion; to forge a new partnership between the North and the South to address issues of inequality; and the need to think on new patterns of governance for the next decade.

Zahlreiche Falldarstellungen sowie die Ergebnisse einer Reihe empirischer Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, dass die exzessive Nutzung von Onlinediensten mit erheblichen Beeinträchtigungen der Lebensführung einhergehen kann. In der Literatur wird oftmals auf Ähnlichkeiten zwischen der sog. <I>Internet Addiction</I> einerseits und Abhängigkeitserkrankungen oder Störungen der Impulskontrolle andererseits hingewiesen. Die Validität des Konstrukts ist jedoch umstritten. In Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Symptomatik können verschiedene Subtypen der Internet»sucht« beschrieben werden:<I><OL><LI>addiction to online sex, <LI>addiction to online gambling, <LI>addiction to online relationships, <LI>addiction to web cruising and e-mail checking</I> und <I><LI>addiction to multi-user dungeons.</OL></I> Zur Prävalenz der Internet»sucht« in der Allgemeinbevölkerung liegen bislang keine zuverlässigen Schätzungen vor. Verschiedene Personenmerkmale (Alter, Geschlecht, psychische Störungen etc.) sowie spezifische Merkmale der verschiedenen Onlinedienste (Anonymität, Ereignishäufigkeit etc.) scheinen das Risiko einer exzessiven und somit möglicherweise schädlichen Nutzung zu erhöhen. Die vorliegenden Daten sind widersprüchlich und erlauben lediglich vorläufige Schlussfolgerungen, da sich die Soziodemographie der Nutzer innerhalb weniger Jahre deutlich verändert hat und darüber hinaus hinsichtlich der Nutzung des World Wide Web nach wie vor erhebliche geographische Ungleichheiten vorausgesetzt werden müssen. Vor dem Hintergrund erheblicher Forschungsdefizite einerseits und zahlreicher »Schnittstellen« andererseits erscheint es naheliegend und dringend notwendig, dass die Forschung auf diesem Gebiet künftig in weitaus stärkerem Maße als bislang von den Fortschritten anderer Disziplinen profitiert. Aufgabe empirischer Forschung sollte neben der Entwicklung reliabler und valider Erhebungsinstrumente und der Durchführung aufwändiger Längsschnittstudien an repräsentativen Zufallsstichproben die Formulierung evidenz-basierter Behandlungsempfehlungen sein.

We live under the spectre of never quite getting beyond the last upgrade in our array of new electronic tools. We have become unwittingly tied to an ever-increasing set of demands to learn, relearn, and apply the latest addition to our technological inventory. The advent of e-mail has compressed communication patterns, committing us to “immediate” responses. World Wide Web home pages explode information sources, leaving us floundering for the best hypertext link to follow. Computer databases spin out reports on every imaginable aspect of our work.  How do we feel about our new status as “electronic advisors”? How is our interaction with students faring in all of this? Have we been able to secure more time for students to draw on our experience and knowledge through these labor-saving devices? What has happened to our priorities? Has quality of service to the students kept abreast with the demands of processing ever-increasing amounts of information?
