Excerpt:
Despite the truly incredible amounts of enthusiasm, money and media attention pumped into computers and the internet over the past few years we still lack the most basic historical understanding of the relationship between information technology, business organizations and people's understanding of their work and lives. I'm doing my best to address this. To some extent this, like most academic home pages, is an illuminated resume, designed to charm search committees and impress visitors with my intellectual productivity. My greater hope, however, is that by disseminating papers, resources, and syllabi this site will be useful to people researching these matters on their own, or to colleagues planning teaching and research in similar areas.
