What role do the Balearic Islands play in the Information Society?

Our economy dedicated in a great part to tourism and construction, needs a change in activity in view of the impossibility of continuing to consume more territory and assuming the spectacular increase in population. For the same reason, neither can we diversify our economy towards traditional industries. The more sensible alternative is via promoting the economy based on the information society and communications, also called, Knowledge Society.

To carry out the necessary transfer of a part of the dominating economy towards new activities dedicated to the information society is a complete challenge, and will need a change of mentality which perhaps we are not prepared for.

To debate and find out the opinion of our users on this subject, BalearWeb has started a new Debate-Poll with the question: What role do the Balearic Islands play in the Information Society?
