What are we up to? A note from the history books to inform our work: "The shift from steam to electric power was gradual and costly, not just because of the required investments in technology, but because the technology enabled and required fundamentally new ways of organizing and conducting work.” King, J. L. (1996). Where are the payoffs from computerization? Technology, learning, and organizational change. In R. Kling (Ed.), Computerization and controversy: Value, conflict and social choices (2nd ed., pp. 239-260). New York, NY: Academic Press.
