Abstract

Anybody who has witnessed the explosive growth of mobile telephony, i-Pod fetishism and online grocery deliveries knows that digital and electronic technologies can work profound changes in our personal, social and cultural lives.We might hope, however, that new technologieswill go beyond commercial value to provide societal ones as well, helping address some of the significant societal problems of our time. This might mean rethinking our approach to technologies-what they can do, howwe interactwith them and the methods we use to develop them.
