This book places IT in perspective by tracing its development
through time, covering its origins in business, the massive
expansion of the role of IT at the end of the 20th century, the
growth of the internet, and the successes and failures of companies
involved in this development.
Despite its ubiquity in the modern world, the author highlights
that efficient use of IT by businesses can only be gained by a good
understanding of its potentials and pitfalls, highlighting how its
informed use in practice is essential for companies to succeed.
Finally, questions are raised concerning the future of IT: who will
reap the benefits and why? Will IT continue to provide solutions
and will it always deliver on its promise? Will it cease to advance
and thus cease to be studied or will it continue to develop and
thus provide new opportunities and challenges to users?
