• Technology and In/Equality: Questioning the Information Society [top]
  Edited by Sally Wyatt, Flis Henwood, Nod Miller and Peter Senker
  First published in 2000 in Great Britain by Routledge in paperback, 242pp, ISBN 0415230233
  Design by Apropos

About this book/synopsis: The book takes the reader through the various implications of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) through the use of case studies that show their applications in three main areas - in the media, education and training, and in the workplace.

Issues of access and control over crucial resources such as knowledge, information, skills, and income are particularly keen in these areas. Historical perspective is used to show how new technologies have not always lived up to the democratising promises they made or offered; that new technologies are in reality unequally distributed.

All the chapters question what 'technology' and 'inequality' really mean; and they also examine the widespread association of technology with progress.
