Popis: T Internet is changing the world, with implications for the future of psychiatry (1). In a previous column, we described the basic trends that are directing this transformation, drawing examples from the worlds of science and business and extrapolating into areas of psychiatric work (2). We see four driving forces at work: the world’s movement to the Web (the consolidation of information on the Web), the Web’s movement to the world (increased access to the Web), managing the Web (the trend to facilitate management of Web information), and management by the Web (the trend toward use of Web-based information for management). In this column, we describe the challenges these trends create for psychiatrists and the steps we must take to avoid misfortune in the information age.
