Guest Editorial: Special Issue on “Social Issues Regarding Recent Advances in Internet Applications”, WiCON 2019

Abstract

Recent advances in Internet applications have unleashed considerable effort into our daily life and raise amounts of social issues, such as commercial deviance, infringement, social network problems, and education matters. The effort is involved in many different fields of social science; in particular, sociology, jurisprudence, politics, economics, and management. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on professional knowledge and expertise to recognize the implications of shifts between new Internet applications and our society.
