The advent of Internet brought changes unimagined. In engaging in Information society Fireflies sticks to Internet and the eco system built around it.

The eco system commonly called as Cyberspaces, though a smaller part of the Internet, are the most visible face of the Internet networks.

With advent of social networking applications, new tools for  interaction and networking, online gaming and expression platforms like blogging, and virtual worlds, have created a fascinating network of users, distributed across lifestyles and geographies, interacting with each other in unprecedented forms.

At fireflies we seek to explore and  understand this eco system through research and other forms of engagement. We are curious to see the the social,cultural and political implication the Internet leave us with.

In the context of India, we can never put aside the Telecom sector when we speak about Information Society. Rural coverage of telecommunication networks and the  dream of a countrywide broad band infrastructure will be the areas Fireflies will be looking at in this sphere.
