>      OXFORD TARGETS THE INTERNET'S IMPACT ON SOCIETY
>      Oxford University has announced plans to create the Oxford Internet
>      Institute, a multidisciplinary center focused on the societal and
>      ethical impact of the Internet. According to UK Secretary of State for
>      Education David Blunkett, one of the center's top priorities will be
>      research issues surrounding cryptography, intellectual property and
>      security. Research programs will target the fundamental shifts in
>      human behavior and interactions as a result of technology, comparative
>      media law and policy, and creating new educational software.
