- Footnote
- Rez. in: JASIST 53(2002) no.4, S.320-321 (A.-C.H. Dianu): "Are you a cyberutopian or a technophobe? Do you believe that cyberspace is the ultimate home for all humans, or you completely deny the advancement of information technology? Is there a middle ground between the two extremes? Where is it and how to find it? It is exactly the middle ground that the authors, John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid, try to discover and propose in this book. From management, research to education, the book demonstrates that information technology is deeply embedded in its social context, as suggested in the book title. By uprooting it from its social context and detaching all human elements from it, information technology will no longer be viable. On the one hand, the book serves as a warning to information designers by emphasizing the importance of social and human elements in information technology development. On the other hand, it reveals to information users the importance of realizing the embedding of information technology in our lives."
