As a discipline, Informatics has developed over the years from its
initial focus on data processing and software development, towards
a more recent emphasis on people's use of technology and its impact
on their working and private lives. Gunilla Bradley, an
internationally recognized expert in this field, has researched
this area for many years and here, authors this indispensable
volume on the topic. Providing a broad and deep analysis of the
relationship between people, ICT, society and the environment,
Bradley examines the impact on/change in organizations and
individuals, both in the workplace and in the home. Taking a firmly
humanistic view she also looks to the future as ICT increasingly
transforms and impacts on our lives, and explores issues including
stress, power, competence and psychosocial communication. She
proposes normative research questions for the future and presents
actions to achieve the Good ICT society. This thought-provoking
book will be of interest to students and academics studying social
informatics, computing and MIS as well as organizational behaviour,
sociology, psychology and communications. Research-based and
cross-disciplinary, Bradley's book is a valuable, and topical,
resource.
