This book considers the human implications of the introduction of information technology (IT), with particular reference to work and home, employment, industrial relations, citizenship and leisure. It begins with a discussion of the nature of IT, the interface between society and technology, and the importance of technological choice. Two main perspectives - "optimistic" and "pessimistic" - are presented, and a distinction is made between those who see IT as a new industrial revolution and those who view it more as a social product. The book does not primarily discuss IT in terms of what it can "do" but rather considers the human implications stemming from its application. Unlike a "hard" technology book, it does not aim to be specific and precise because there are widely differing views as to what the human effects will be. But the book tries to balance and synthesise these various standpoints in a readable, non-technical way which should appeal to both the specialist and general reader alike.

From the Back Cover:
People and Chips takes a comprehensive look at the human implications of information technology a subject of continued debate and controversy. No other text brings together such a wide range of `human issues' in a single volume. Rather than considering what IT can `do', it discusses the effects it has on: employment; new work patterns; automation; surveillance; data protection; gender; organizational change; health and safety; privacy; broadcasting; democracy; industrial relations; networks; computer crime; the work ethic. This highly successful book draws on a wide range of perspectives and utilizes sociology, psychology, economics, law and politics in its in-depth analysis of the human aspects of IT. Now in its thrid edition, People and Chips moves on to consider how the Internet and other networks are influencing the human agenda of technology. It also includes new research on changing work patterns, gender issues, organizational change and human resource issues. Written for undergraduates, this unique and readable book provides an all-encompassing, non-technical view of the human issues surrounding IT.
