Si México no pone los principios de la sustentabilidad en el centro de su desarrollo, no logrará cosechar los beneficios esperados de las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación. Se sugiere que una precondición para alcanzar la sustentabilidad es el fomento de la cultura ambiental en toda la población y se propone cómo la educación superior pudiera jugar un papel clave en promoverla.]]></p></abstract>

If Mexico does not set sustainability principles at the core of development, it will not be able to obtain benefits expected from new information and communication technologies. The document suggests that the fostering of an environment awareness culture in population is a precondition to reach sustainability and suggests ways in which higher education can play a key role in such fostering effort.]]></p></abstract>
