Abstract

Examines the relationship of technology to the promotion of freedom. Defines both technology and freedom and gives an overview of the growth of computer use at work. Discusses whether freedom can be promoted thorugh improved communication. Sets out a structured apporach, to the non technical aspects of systems design (ETHICS). This method enables users to participate in the design process and hence helps promote their freedom of action at work
