Discussion of the current Information Revolution tends to focus on
technological developments in information and communication and
overlooks both the human labour involved in the development,
maintenance and daily use of information and communication
technologies (ICTs), and the consequences of the implementation of
these ICTs for the position and divisions of labour. This volume
aims to redress this imbalance by exploring the role, position and
divisions of information and communication labour in the broadest
sense through periods of revolutionary technological change. The
contributions range from eighteenth-century German clerical work,
through Indian telegraph workers' actions in 1908, computing labour
in early twentieth-century US electrical engineering, the impact of
containerization and ICT on South-African stevedores and
international seafarers, to the development of the computer
programmer, labour organization in Silicon Valley, and the role of
volunteer work in the early development of the World Wide Web.
